"Any job skill that you learn today will be obsolete in five years. Any job skill. Consequently, learning how to learn is incredibly important. And if you ask business people in the world right now - in fact there’s been studies done by lots of national organizations - they’re saying, “What skills you looking for in the new people you hire ?” People who can think well, can read difficult texts, can tackle complex problems and approach them from a variety of ways, and then articulate that. Be able to express and communicate what they learn. Those are the skills of a liberal arts education."
