A classical liberal arts education is worth its weight in gold, but it’s not job training. It’s life training.

Starts when you are born and ends when you draw that last breath. Most 18-22 year olds don't have the perspective to absorb a true liberal arts. Also, I think a 4 year intensive reading list would likely be of more use, and practically free.

Bump. Although a real Liberal Arts degree ironically would push one to be more conservative.

Sigh.

Reading is fundamental and I cannot agree with you more. Being self-educated by reading is undervalued, IMO.
