History degree???? What the HELL would they be good for in the workplace?? NOTHING but be Mr. KnowitAll.

As you may have guessed by now, this one is a nominee for ignorant quote of the day :)

A good education with a major in history is a solid start to a career in business as a manager or entrepreneur. The history major may end up with a group of his pre-professional peers (engineers, IS, accountants) working for him. Pre-professional is the easier path to a guaranteed job right out of college, but longer term the history major (or other quality liberal arts grad) can be highly successful.

It's sad to think that conservatives would fail to see value in a classic liberal education.

Please provide a list of undergraduate majors that are "quality liberal arts."

Thank you.

I kind of agree with you, except that no one outside of a few small colleges offers a ‘quality liberal arts’ education. It is possible to find self-educated folks though.

Almost all LA grads these days are simply brainwashed leftists or worn-out cynics, not to mention barely literate by any historical standard.

The fact that such grads become managers just means that American business as a whole is non-competitive.
