If you really regard professors of literature (and writing, music, and
art) as purveyors of bovine scat, then you are exactly like all the
University kids who surround themselves with Fountains of Knowledge, then
won't voluntarily take so much as a sip from one that isn't connected with
their chosen career path. And those classes are required (and where I went
to school, an extra semester of writing was required of all computer
science majors, at least in my department) because it was the only way to
get most of them to drink from those Fountains. (Or as Dorothy Parker once
said, "You can lead a HORTICULTURE, but you can't make her think.")

Because if you really regard those professors as such, then you don't have
the slightest clue what the difference is between training and education.
(HINT: Training teaches you how to make a better living. Education teaches
you how to live more fully.)

If that is so, then I pity you.
