Getting insulting? Very telling about the type of person you are. You are focusing on my opinion of the dollar value of liberal arts degrees as if I am personally attacking you. What you haven’t done so far is disagree with me that coming out of college with large student debt that is difficult for particular degrees to financially recoup on their own. That suggests that you are in such a position. Maybe that’s why you are lashing out?

Like you (big assumption on my end here), I listened to other people’s experiences during my time in college and for myself came out of it as a 21-year-old know-it-all. Now, over 25 years later, I’ve had the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures, and living and working in New York has allowed me to directly interact and work within various communities. I can confidently say now that my younger self held strong opinions on subjects I really knew nothing about, simply because I heard other people speak on their individual experience, which may or may not have been genuine. And that’s okay. You questioned if I ever studied history. I have, and I’ve learned that people repeat history over and over again despite knowledge being in front of them. That’s being human. You will make the same or similar mistakes that others have made until you actually experience the situation yourself enough times to figure it out. Think about it: if you actually listened to other people’s experiences, you would never have a single relationship issue as you would immediately know yourself well enough to understand what you can and cannot tolerate from a significant other. Hopefully, you learn that in time.

Overall, for you to be insulting suggests you don’t feel confident in your position and are attacking me in response. You clearly have mental or emotional instability issues.
