my first paragraph will be about major mishap #2

in the section of the second mishap the main statement is ” College graduates are finding it harder to get good jobs with liberal-arts degrees.” in the article it states that “A 2009 survey for the Association of American Colleges and Universities actually found that more than three-quarters of our nation’s employers recommend that college bound students pursue a “liberal education””. Although the stigma with liberal arts degrees is that they Arnt as important as a lets say business or nursing degree, they still help the economy and are a big part in what makes our country flourish. From our first reading I pulled this quote which helps the point of what Unger was trying to say. ” Liberal arts colleges seem an endangered species as curricula shift toward science, technology, engineering, and math—the STEM disciplines. Students want jobs, not debt, and who can blame them?”

my second choice is the first misperceptions. the big statement here is how liberal arts schools are being too expensive for everyone to possibly go too. they talk about the number in the liberal arts field declining but they don’t see its because of the demand in jobs that don’t have to do with math and science but in the field doing Manuel labor and other things. ““Many families are indeed struggling, in the depths of the recession, to pay for their children’s college education.” Hes saying that its come to the point where people cant pay for a liberal arts education because its too expensive. they are seeing a decline in people attending these universities over the past two decades. “In proportion to all bachelor’s degrees, declined just 0.1 percent from 1980 to 2010, from 17.1 percent to 17.0 percent.”
