This is a random collection of thoughts after watching this movie, liberal arts, on a recent flight.
I like the movie; it is funny, informational, and the characters are cute (especially the one played by Elizabeth Olsen).
I finally got what it meant by liberal art college: basically, the kind of schools that trains one to be a generalist rather than for a specific profession. Quote from the movie: “I majored in English and minored in history just to make sure I am fully unemployable”.
I think computer science is some kind of liberal art: writing good codes is a lot like writing good proses, designing good algorithms is a lot like designing good plots, and making good UIs is a lot like making good plays!
From now on I am going to proclaim I do liberal art, in a more employable fashion.
🙂
