Aptitude didn’t help my kid. The artist kid was supposed to be a doctor. She is great with people and can quickly read people really well.

I’m not sure I understand the constant provoking of STEM vs liberal arts major and vice versa. I have one of each and they seem suited to the major they chose eventually.

For the humanities and artist kid, she has acquire lots of business skill at a very young age, well at least when I was that age, I hadn’t hire and fire people within the first 3 years. She did it with grace. No hurt feelings. What I found was useful course she took in college was conflict resolution for potential RA job that didn’t pan out. Not sure if that’s liberal arts or not. But it’s very useful skill. If that is vocational then why the look down on vocational classes.
