Is a Liberal Arts Degree Worth It? (#296, 7 Mar. 2025)

Yes! It is, but under certain circumstances it is not. This episode explores the power of the liberal arts under the right conditions and those circumstances where it would not be worth it.


We'll explore differential sibling outcomes, the limitations of awareness versus applying, micro-versus macro, offering a solution versus doing it, the limitations of "practical", Robert Noyce (inventor of microchip), and the virtues of a deep dive after an exploration of multiple areas.


If you have a young person exploring liberal arts, this is the episode for you.
