And hopefully something will, soon. We can't build or maintain a country with our history degrees, and my generation has yet to realize it. Say what you will about the value of the humanities, but I can't help but suppress a "you fool!" every time I hear one of my friends talking about their english, or poli sci, or art history degrees.

Don't get me wrong - I have a degree in philosophy myself. But I recognized that it would get me nowhere, so I picked up programming. I'm now looking forward to making recruiters drool. However, independent self-improvement is not the trend among my peers, as far as I can tell.

Yeah, that caught my eye too. I was waiting to see if there was any engineering or science degrees in the group they selected but nope. All BAs.
