Most liberal arts degrees are pretty useless in the real world.

I've fared pretty well with my philosophy degree.

What kind of work do you do related to the degree? I worked with a guy with a masters in philosophy. He was doing computer programming, but teaching at the community college on the side. Interesting fella.

There's always exceptions, but looking at the salary/# of job offers vs major - BS degrees come out on top. Of course, people need to go with something they love above all - their calling or whatever name we give it.
