You have a point, but don't forget that there are technical, analytical, and even quantitative aspects to the most fluffy-sounding fields.

It really depends on the program that you're attending. A well rounded Philosophy department will produce better hackers than a poorly-focused Computer Science department.

With all this talk of vocational training versus a real degree, I assert that a college degree without some form of Liberal Arts grounding is no degree at all.

Nobody plans on having a worthless degree after school, and no educator wishes to leave their student ill-equipped. No one wants to work at the Gap in the first place, and whether they have a degree in Communications or not is irrelevant.

Education, like a trip to the hospital, is a practice in fighting for yourself and getting what you came for.

Not your kind of grossly capitalistic hacking. :)
Yawn.
Damn, I guess I'm not making money every second of the day.

My life is meaningless. I am weak.

Access to all your files, one-click view for any items MobileSafari can access (doc, pdf, xls, html, etc), and the changes feed for quick access to your most recently used files.
