No way....it's not about the books, it's about the approach and processes of integrated thinking.  Sure, there are facts, especially in certain fields, but there's also how to think, research, reach conclusions and convey them well, make connections and study impacts, causes and effects.

There is no point telling that to Mankie, he is too crude.

Ah yes, my Friday afternoon fishing expedition was successful again.    
 
 But I do have a question...if someone takes an "art history" degree for example, gets their teaching degree and becomes an art history teacher then teaches kids who get their degrees to become art history teachers who then teach kids to become art history teachers and so on and so forth.....what has that process contributed other than $$$ in the art history department coffers of Universities that teach art history?

That's the line of crap they tell you to sell it to you.
 
 Bottom line is a BS is the new high school diploma. Without you, you have to be very, very resourceful to get a good paying job. With it, you stand a chance.

This example precisely refers to the post above.  Ditto to the study of literature, history, etc.

I can see I've really touched a nerve here.  I had no idea you were so sensitive regarding the subject of your education.  
 
 Buck up, little camper.

Actually you haven't touched anything.
 Answering Jeopardy questions is a good thing.
 Now don't be offering to touch anything else, or you will see how sensitive I can be   :eek:
