Re: Thank god this is UFB because something about this hits my rage button.
He doesn't really elaborate on it, but I'm certain he's talking about people in college/university, probably people getting a liberal education because he claims it's useless for them to take either "hard" classes (chemistry, classical literature), or classes that don't have an obvious real world use (art history).

I'm so not opposed to non-liberal educations, vocational schools, etc. But that doesn't seem to be what he's talking about. The article is about getting what you want out of college, which apparently means getting a liberal education but not actually taking advantage of half of what it involves. He doesn't mention pointing certain students away from universities, just complains about the requirements and insults people's intelligence.
