Re:Mea culpa: there is a crisis in the humanities

University studies probably are on borrowed time. It seems to me that they are insanely inefficient for the stated purpose - educating people. They are more than ripe for disruption.
That said, it seems to me that the disruption probably will first be in the engineering areas rather than in the humanities. Do you know chemical engineering? I can test for that, whether or not you went to a university. (The GRE will do that in many fields.) But did you absorb the enrichment that should have come with your university education? The humanities cares about that; STEM doesn't.
