All career choices that we all must make. Pensions are/were a goal of mine. I do not believe the Edu-Gov't complex propaganda and have done well. Many believe the propaganda it and strive for very unsuccessful goals. Gen-Ed will never teach you this.

I don't believe there is any propaganda in this area. I'm not the conspiracy theorist type who thinks the government is out to get me. Gen ed requirements have nothing to do with people having unsuccessful goals. The government is not pushing for people to major in non-STEM fields; it's doing the opposite.

I learned a lot from gen ed courses/tests. I learned which subjects I like and which subjects I don't like. This helps when choosing a career. I learned more about history and how the government operates. Some people don't see the value in knowing your own history and civics, which I think is pretty dumb. I think everyone should be required to take statistics and/or research methods. They would make less illogical conclusions and be able to scrutinize questionable studies.

Why do philosophy majors tend to score so high on graduate admissions tests? One possible reason is that more intelligent people choose to major in philosophy. Self-selection bias is something you learn about in statistics. Another possible reason is that philosophy coursework helps build analytical skills.
