Yet those with a liberal education tend to be happier than those who are just in it for the money.  Liberal education is NOT trade school, it is about nurturing the whole human being, not just the money making part.  I sort of feel sorry for people who believe college is about learning a trade or how to make money - they don't belong in college in the first place.  Yes, a good education CAN lead to good employment, and certain professions require a great deal of knowledge/education best acquired at a university - but ultimately college is not a trade school.
