The "Liberal Arts"

[CaptYossarian]

2. Congratulations on making tremendous choices at what I assume was a traditionally young age.

My interpretation of the word "liberal" is more. You've certainly gotten the most out of your four years, but you kind of sound apologetic about it.

Maybe it's because of today's definition of elite. Yes, you are elite, but in the more traditional sense. If you substitute the word unique, that may bring you more comfort and be less apologetic. Maybe I don't understand because I'm too busy envying your experiences.

Another thing: Many people make the deliberate choice not to attend any post-secondary schools. If these are the people who call you elite, they're part of the problem. One line from Caddyshack that seems appropriate is "The world needs ditch diggers too".
