STEM is overrated. College shouldn't just be a means to get a job. There's value in education for education's sake. It isn't all about science, tech, and economics. We could do well to learn history, philosophy, literature, and rhetoric.

Philosophy is the type of thing anyone can just do at home. Being a philosopher doesn"t take much special training.
Everyone is a philosopher in reality.

I'm not saying becoming a philosopher is a practical goal, but we should learn these things. It would help foster critical thinking. Especially in the "age of misinformation".
