Yeah, I think the argument for the humanities can only exist if college wasn't outrageously expensive.
The world made college into a checkpoint to get a good salaried position, it's not the same as the old geezers experienced it, where college was thought of as a bonus education, but not solely needed to get a decent paying job.
Those of us who came of age in the dotcom era already had the vocational skills to pull big salaries, so college was a bonus education. I (and others in this thread) have a philosophy degree because of it.
