   I enjoyed the Anthropology course, but if I had the chance to take ANTH 102   
   right now, I'd say "No thanks."   
      
   Having a well-rounded education sounds good, but it needs to be a real   
   education. Like you said, the English/writing courses were useful, I think   
   math was great too, but the Anthropological studies are based on "some guy's"   
   experience, and that leads to ridiculous biases about people from specific   
   places. Same thing with Philosophy. All that class does it encourages people   
   to let the experts do the thinking :)   
      
    DW> Yes, the Dunning-Kruger Effect is alive and well on college campuses.   
      
   I was guilty of it for a while, but I grew out of it. Now days I really,   
   really want other people to break free of it.
