<p>I would agree wholeheartedly, especially to your response. Furthermore, I’d add, as something that I personally try to emphasize, that the liberal arts and critical thought are not just helpful but vital to practice. Coming from an Economics background and given the recent havok in the financial markets, I think it’s high time that people in business and finance spent more time learning how to analyze, reason, and argue than on accounting technicalities or complex derivatives. Maybe then people might wake up and catch the next bubble instead of burying their heads in ‘practical skills.’</p>
