#1402: “You Can Do Anything – With A Liberal Arts Education”

August 10, 2017

#1402: “You Can Do Anything – With A Liberal Arts Education”

The skills needed for a success career are changing almost year by year. But there seems to be one skill that never goes out of style, and may be more important than ever: simply being able to think. Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk about the surprising power of a so-called useless liberal arts education.

Also, last week we spoke to people who are preserving a community farm in New York State…today we’ll chat with someone trying to preserve heirloom seeds…and we’ll spend an academic minute looking for good tippers.
