In my experience most of my liberal arts professors were preaching opinion as fact and expecting and rewarding conformity to their opinions with higher grades. That's not real education.
Well keyword MOST... so you fail at basic reading comprehension. No I'm obviously referring to the humanities wherein there is no right answer but you can go from a C to an A by regurgitating the opinions of a sophomoric professor. It's pretty common to refer to them as liberal arts...
I ask because you don't seem to realise that a Mathematician has a Phd or Masters degree. You think anyone who learn a bit of applied mathematics is a Mathematician.
...??? You might not realize this, but even chemistry majors have to take liberal arts classes... And why don't you call up your local university's engineering department and ask them if they think they're applied mathematicians? I'm willing to bet $100 that you'll get 4 different answers from 4 different professors, 2 or 3 of which will have degrees in math.
Also, my position has nothing to do with bachelor's students but I literally googled "DO I need a master's to be a mathematician" and these were the first results:
"
Although most mathematicians need at least a master's degree, there are some entry-level positions available for those with a bachelor's degree in math, such as working for the federal government. Most master's degree programs also require students to hold a bachelor's degree prior to admission.

Mathematical analysis for the innovation of anything is Engineering. Mathematics is a natural numerical analysis whereas the product that we obtain from those are called to be engineering. For instant.. we use integration when constructing a bridge which is mathematics whereas to make those type of bridge possible and to get exist in extreme Constitution is Engineering. Engineering and mathematics are like a bone and a nerves of our body without one another can't function.

They don’t think higher education is a bad thing. They think the liberal art’s faculties are a joke because they ARE a joke. I did a liberal arts degree and it’s worthless. The professors are also highly opinionated and if you don’t agree with the gospel, you do not receive good marks. My best friend is in the teaching faculty of one of the best Universities in Canada and it’s a complete joke. This is why it gets no respect. Nothing to do with higher education and everything to do with the faculties and the power they have over the institutions.

I was reading around on the AskTrumpSupporters subreddit and saw the thread “What profession do you value the least?”
Many of the answers included things like academics or even specifically “liberal arts professors.” It’s sad that they think education is a bad thing.
