Johann Neem, in an [interview for *Inside Higher Ed*](https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2019/09/24/author-discusses-his-book-purpose-college):
> I also don’t think vocational and liberal education can be done well in the same course of study. First, they often have very different ethical orientations, so if part of what constitutes a good college education is a commitment to thinking as a worthy activity on its own terms, studying primarily to learn a trade does not develop students’ character in the right way. Second, often vocational/professional programs have courses that are narrowly tailored to train people for specific tasks, rather than broadly oriented to providing insight in the world for its own sake. In this sense, a good college education is foundational and general, and that is OK.
Neem's right about this, but the whole liberal arts world is moving in the opposite direction.
