<p>@BSR: well, for instance, the author makes the point that undergrad business schools do not prepare students well for MBA programs, nor will their graduates compete successfully against MBA grads for top jobs. His argument is that the qualities of eduction learned in the liberal arts environment (and, hopefully, seriously jumpstarted in the BS environment!) allow liberal arts B.A.s to move flexibly and seemlessly into management training etc. because they have a better understanding of how to ask relevant questions and not just parrot vocationally provided “answers.” Anyway, I’m not firmly committed one way or the other, but I find the argument interesting, and worth consideration as families consider the options ahead ; and certainly, the cost of all of this education is astronomical.</p>
