"Sounds like someone who is tiptoeing right up to the edge of recommending a liberal arts education and then shying away. ;)"

Emphasis on a liberal arts education, as opposed to a humanities education. A true liberal arts education is about broad exposure but many people interpret the term to mean a simple avoidance of math and hard sciences, which is a huge shame.

Oh, absolutely.

I'm not sure I'm actually prepared to endorse school myself as the solution to the passion "problem". (I was being literal when I said that I expected the article to do so; however, I'm not convinced that I agree with the article ;). But if I were to do so I'm counting the hard sciences as part of any well-rounded education.
