What can I do with my liberal arts degree?  This is a frequently asked question by students. After all, other than your college professor, can you recall meeting anyone who actually worked in medieval history or comparative literature?  In fact, the majority of those who graduate with a liberal arts degree do not find employment in fields related to their major (e.g., psychology majors do not necessarily become psychologists).

Technology will change all schools, including the liberal arts school, but this should not be a cause for worry, as technology is simply tools. People today still use their hands to shape their lives, but unlike our ancestors, we use smart phones instead of flint tools; we are, so to speak, old hands at it.
