Liberal education is not job training. It is to teach you how to be a gentleman (or freeman; liber = free). Not that college education has always been compleyely divirced from training professionals, most obviously it is where doctors and lawyers go. But it is mot vocational school.

Not that this course won’t help you to be cultured or educated in any but the basest sense. It’s just that if what you’re interested in is banking on knowledge, don’t study the humanities. Get a job. Be an apprentice. Go to another sort of school.
