    I think the main benefit of an art degree (for the average person) is learning to research, communicate ideas, and think critically. I have a degree in political science and work in an IT/business role but I absolutely don’t regret my choice of degree.

      My Bach degree was in history, and I often wrote off the importance of the “critical thinking” skills we learned in that program.

      Boy was I wrong, I know too many people who need nothing more than an unsourced headline to fully convince them of something ludacris.

        So the correct spelling is ludicrous, but I prefer to believe that you really did mean to refer to American rapper and actor Ludacris. So carry on.
