And you would know that a liberal arts degree is useless because ___I say so____ (fill in the blank).

I didn't say it's "useless." But I do say that it's far less likely to land you a good job in your first years out of college, which was the general gist of the story.

My regrets to hard working FReepers who may be offended. Obviously not every liberal arts major is a Communist, nor is every hard science major a God fearing freedom loving American. But for the sake of the direction of this story, the shoe generally fits. A degree in physics, aerospace or nursing will take you further in your first year after college than something in (for example) black studies or music appreciation.
