I would agree with these observations. However, where our arts and letters guys now?
We have CES, businessmen and lawyers. We have a physician and several college administrators.
The education seem mostly angled toward business and administration, which given their heavy administrative load makes a lot of practical sense, but we're losing some of the richness we once enjoyed. Maybe it will even out in the end. However, their circles from which they select will necessarily be the same, so we may be weeding out the thinkers, the arts and letter guys, for the nuts and bolts types.
