Terrific plea for the humanities! I wasn't familiar with the 2020 Georgetown report. Thank you for mentioning that. As a fellow humanist, I share your misfortune of caring about such things.
This is excellent Catalina. It makes me wonder how the most critical skills get so little attention. "They are also conducting student surveys, which show that the big issue is that students don’t know which careers humanities studies lead to." I think you demonstrated the humanities lead to ANY career! Perhaps that's why it's hard to sell, because it's ROI isn't so targeted. Same for public speaking, writing, and perhaps typing. : ) I'm forwarding your article to my son who is in the early stages of thinking about careers. Thank you.
Thank you, Rick! I'm thrilled that you found the essay resonant and that you're sharing it with your son. It's all about those critical skills that sometimes fly under the radar. I hope they get more popular soon. I always appreciate your support.
