Not in a collapsed world.

Especially with a liberal arts degree

There are like million(s) of Bs’ busing tables.
Going to college:
First - if you start, you better finish. Some college is nothing!
Second - make sure you get some useful degree.
Third - in many degrees you should be prepared to go for Ms or even PhD before you have any chances for some money.
Fourth - people do not like to hire overeducated people. They sometimes do, but they do not trust them. They often leave at first shot on better job.
Fifth - more college does not necessary means more money. Skilled trades (plumbers, electricians etc.) make a lot more money than many college graduates.
In many useful fields (I know, mine is one too), the lifetime earning peaks at Master’s degree, PhD’s make less money than Ms’.
Finally - do not push yourself into some field you have no skills. Mediocre people do not make any money, regardless of degrees!

In summary, the educational establishment likes to make everybody a PhD, because they get the money. Do not trust their advise! Education can make you money, and in some jobs is necessary, but you have to be smart and thing carefully, before you commit yourself.

The value of my liberal arts degree can’t be measured in gold because it is my key to ancient languages and the history and ideas written in those languages.
