In fact, I think that's one of the instrumental failures we're seeing currently in America.

I agree, and I did not mean to suggest otherwise. I was happy to support my kids as they chose "impractical" paths. I would not want to live in a world where careers are only valued based on money.
Although I do think a liberal arts education, that some would describe as impractical, is actually very practical--it teaches a person how to understand, think about, and analyze complex situations.
