Answer 1

Formal education is a wonderful thing. In the sciences, we get to ask questions like, "What is there? Why is it there?" In things like engineering or medicine we get to ask things like "What is wrong?" and "Would this fix it?" In the arts we get to ask questions like "Would it be more beautiful if we did this or if we did that?" The practical advantage of a liberal arts college education is usually so we can ask questions like "Would you like fries with that?"

The liberal arts were originally a sort of basic education expected of those in the upper classes, or those in the lower classes who expected to be accepted to do business with the upper classes. They were the trivium and quadrivium. The trivium were grammar, rhetoric, and logic. You used these to learn, to learn to think, and to communication what, or even that, you learned. The quadrivium included arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. These were intended to broaden a cultured person's mind beyond just the vocational cares of the menial labors of common humanity. Even those cultured souls who were graced with a liberal arts education were expected to understand at least one of the vocational arts. They were expected to be able to do things like plant gardens, harvest crops, work with wood or stone, etc. whether they would engage in it for their livelihood or not.

Today, we have this turned on its ear. We figure that the liberal arts will sustain us for our basic living, which it was never originally intended for. We learn a trade or vocation--and we broaden (liberal) our minds with the world beyond mere work. An education without a vocational component is frosting without cake, bullets without a gun, or saddle without a horse.
