Blue mentioned the term "educational arms race" to
describe the rising educational credentials of
professionals, etc. Actually, I think professionals in
the 21st century need far more education than ever to be
effective. Assuming resources are no objection, I think
the following would be an ideal post-secondary
curriculum. I list the subject with the number of course
units (1 c.u. =3 college semester hours.)

history 6; philosophy 4; literature 6; religion 2
poliSci 4, psych 4, math 6, physics 4, chemistry 4,
biology 4, sociology 2, statistics 4, Computers/IT 8;
anthro 2; accounting 10, finance 8, General Management 10,
Law 4 years, including tax law courses, Chinese 10,
Spanish 8, Japanese 6, engineering 4, Leadership 2,
Communication 4, automechanics/life skills 4, etc.

I actually think that colleges should be about 10 years
long to adequately accommodate all these courses.

Blue, you never answered my questions: what courses did
you take in high school and college? did you get enough
grounding in the liberal arts?
