This is so true. Although not popular with people in my field (Computer Science), I highly value my liberal arts and humanities education. Far from being "worthless mandatory classes" (like many in my major believed), I found thee classes to be the most enlightening. I learned to wield algorithms and build software in my major, but I learned why I should and how to think critically about how to do it to best serve people (not to mention just simple communication). If anything, there should be more liberal arts in the curriculum, not less.
