<p>“Liberal arts colleges are the primary source for future law school and medical school students, as well as graduate school in the respective fields.”</p>
<p>Thank you, @Monydad. That was my impression, too. My older son is looking at majoring in history at an LAC, precisely with a view toward going to law school afterward. </p>
<p>“Many of the highest-capability students who pursue liberal arts educations do so with a plan that presupposes more advanced subsequent training and education down the road.”</p>
<p>Yes, that’s how our son is approaching it. </p>
<p>Recently I asked him if he would consider going into teaching, since NC has a program that covers full cost of attendance at any UNC-system school if you agree to teach in the NC public schools for four years after graduation. </p>
<p>He responded disdainfully that he had no interest in a low-paying profession like teaching. He wanted law school,period.</p>
<p>LOL, I guess I know now where GenY’s priorities lie.</p>
