Do you think this is still true in 2021?
The article I opened the thread with argues that many students are not getting much out of their degrees. I mostly don't think that's an arts vs science issue, but rather the supply of university grads has gone up (and maybe standards down?) It has gotten to the point where that piece alleged that some grads were barely literate. If its possible to graduate university under those conditions then I wouldn't expect much value from a degree.
As with many things you probably get out what you put in, but given the cost of education (both in $ to society and the student and in time) it seems like higher standards might be useful.
