Dr. Stumme makes some solid points in this video. I've openly discouraged people from LS on my channel but the big thing that sticks out here is... Not all LS degrees are equal. I see a lot of people get very lazy LS degrees... they'll take all the easiest classes and have no solid foundation in their studies. DON'T be that person, because you're devaluing your degree. However... what Clifford is suggesting is very different... Figure out what you want to do with your degree, then model your degree with classes that actually serve that purpose. There is a right way to do it... and if you structure it properly, guess what... your degree doesn't suck😆! I will admit, income data for LS Degrees surely includes all the people who have earned these degrees in the laziest way possible. So don't be that person, do it right. Figure out which job you want, or which grad programs you're trying to get into and structure your degree accordingly. If you do... you'll be just fine!

Just finished my Liberal Studies degree at UMPI! I’ve been running my own business for 8 years but when I would visit my grandparents, they would always ask when I’m going back to school lol. I’m 31 now and I first came across your videos in February this yr and spent maybe 1.5 years at community college (2013ish) before grinding through Sophia courses and 10 courses at UMPI (1 semester!)

I got a business administration degree and people trash that program all the time. I work in supply chain management now. Starting salary is about $55k in my area and i get to travel the nation with fully paid business trips and nice dinners. Beats the heck out of stocking groceries. In a year ill see 70k as i finish my MBA soon and plan to move to the next level

What amazes me is how many people think they know my political beliefs when they hear I have a liberal arts degree.

This is my favorite video you’ve ever made 😉

As an Interdisciplinary Studies graduate, I 100% recommend, if it supports your goals, such as going to grad school. This type of degree will save you soooo much time and money; time and money you could use towards a Masters.

I just finished my Bachelor of liberal studies in Management and Political Science in 3 weeks!!! Now I’m starting in September my master's in public health at WGU, thanks for your videos and everything.

I want to see Shane and Cliff box in the Tyson vs Paul undercard. My money is on Cliff all the way baby.

I graduated with a liberal studies degree after spending way too much time figuring out what I wanted to do for a career and I agree with cliff the salary estimate are not applicable in the least

And this my friends is what separates a true professional from a KZfaq hobbyist… There’s this “other” guy who pushes proctored WGU exams while hating on UMPI/Sophia and the infamous Chipotle degree; such a shame, I hope more and more people find your channel and seek your services. Cliff & Lauren kudos to you all for all that you do in this community. Loved LOVED all the screaming! 📢

You need to have a good plan if you have a liberal studies program. The true test of the degree is what career path you can go into with just a four-year degree

Wow this was very insightful. Thank you for making this video.

I have a BLS degree (triple minor mgmt, project mgmt, poli sci) from UMPI and make a really nice 6-figure salary as a marketing director. I could've done any degree, but I love to learn across a myriad of topics, so liberal studies just made sense. The well-rounded experience and knowledge has been invaluable, plus I was able to graduate summa cum laude and went on to get my Master's from a top 30 business school. I love my BLS degree. It's all about your goals and how you use the degree.

I don't think Perry Mason could've made a stronger argument regarding this subject.

IRL the biggest critics of the degree don’t have one of their own in any field. HR just wants to check that box, unless it’s a specialized field.

I see these conversations all the time. I have a BS in Multidisciplinary Studies from Liberty. I graduated in 2012 at 32 years old and did it using my GI Bill. It worked for me but i already had an AAS and two trade certificates and work as a wastewater treatment operator. I completed my degree for me. It had nothing to do with landing a job. I already had a career and more than enough schooling and experience.

Love this! Just got accepted to LUO and have thought about switching from Psych to Interdisciplinary. Would I be allowed to co-enroll with Sophia while being an active LUO student?

Peope with it compnsci web dev degrees and experience cant even find a job nowadays

Another piece is the advantage the liberal arts degree holder has in being a well-rounded person having learned to think analytically and possessing many of the soft skills employers seek. I've been re-reading "There is Life After College" by Jeffrey Selingo as I'm helping my son navigate his degree path. Selingo argues a liberal arts education is the best preparation for the working world. A LinkedIn article he wrote talks about how liberal arts majors are found in all fields and are thriving. Your video, along with the great comments, is helping me see my son's path. Thank you!

Great video! Would you take a look at the AAS Board of Governors degree by Pierpont Community & Technical College? I know it's an associates degree, but it is pretty flexible and hacckable. Having this degree can help as motivation to continue on for a bachelor's degree.

Great video

I wanna see a KZfaqr boxing match between Cliff and Jake Paul. Cliff could work the inside and wear him down.

This just proves that no degree is useless!

Two parts to my question 1, when you apply for city jobs in my state they ask for transcripts and the College should be regionally accredited. 2. Once I graduate from my regionally accredited school and I provide my transcripts will the Sophia credits show different on my transcript or will it be on a completely different transcript?

Most people think of things like gender studies when they think about liberal studies. Like is your only goal is to get a gender studies degree what are you going to do with that.

In your coaching do you give an outline on how to land a job after graduation and how to graduate within a year. I think umpi is the school for me

I've got 100 credits from another university and SNHU took most my credits. I only need 30 credits, but I originally wanted to get a BA in Technology OR Business. I will need 50+ or so credits for that at SNHU. Is it a compromise to get a Liberal Arts degree? My end goal is to work from home as a programmer (I believe most learn from hands on experience outside of school) because I am in the middle of homeschooling and raising my kids. As they get older I can work more. As a back up if I can't work from home, is a Liberal Arts efficient? I'm also considering UMPI as an option. Context: I've been taking 1-2 classes a semester and moving slow as hell towards my BA. I'm definitely also feeling burnt out haha

Is it possible to get into a high ranking master’s program with a BA in Liberal Studies from somewhere like UMPI? Have you seen examples like this?

Just found your KZfaq. What do you recommend to premed.

what are the recommendations to leverage your degree (bog at pierpoint) and BLS at UMPI if one wants to work in TECH? Thank you

I've seen so many negative reviews of National University (AKA North Central University). Could you please give some insight on that university in particular and if it's a decent online school? I'm trying to find busy-friendly online programs, specifically at the master or doctorate level.

Would I need a masters in liberal studies to get into medical school?

Do you know of any hackable construction related degrees? Im at a loss😮‍💨
