Hi,

I've worked with entirely too many people who have had degrees ranging from associate to doctorate and who didn't have a clue in any field other than their narrow specialty. It is not that they didn't have an opinion on history, literature, arts, etc. It's that they didn't even seem to know that those fields existed.

The continuing trend to applicability in the present educational system is generating well programmed robots who cannot think because they have nothing to think with or about. But, of course, there is a flip side to this as well. I've never met an engineer who couldn't read or write (though few do the latter well). I've met many a liberal arts type that couldn't add and wouldn't recognize poor logic if it bit them (which it often does).
