@blanyeeast2928 Liberal arts doesn't necessarily mean doing only humanities degrees/majors I think; their main difference from other universities is the way they teach IIRC i.e. more general & broad-based rather than specific

2:45 Meanwhile that'd be Singapore's current % of students that enter publicly funded universities (which are seen as more reputable than private ones (which often partner with overseas ones too)), because the government here is worried about over-qualifcation (& the rise of the "associate professional" careers mentioned in this video), so university education wasn't expanded as aggressively here. From what I hear diploma & vocational certificate (what we call the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) here) holders here shouldn't find it too difficult in general to get a job, but there can be quite a big difference in salary (~S$1000+/~NT$20k per month) & promotion opportunities between them & degree holders, though I heard this is changing (more so in private companies than the government sector I heard) to give more recognition to work experience too. 8:18 Reminds me that one of my university professors once asked why most post-graduate students in Singapore were foreigners. I guess a reason is because Singaporeans see more limited improvement in career prospects with a post-grad qualification, with most careers I see sufficing with a Bachelor's & those that don't currently mostly concentrated in R&D & academia (& data scientists too more recently)
