The problem isn’t the liberal arts degree. Its the mis-perception that there should be a job tied to every degree.
Get your liberal arts degree if thats where your interests are. Then go get a job on the shop floor and learn the business from the ground up. If you are bright and you work hard you’ll do well. Of course if you don’t have a liberal arts degree, but you are bright and work hard you’ll also do fine.
The point of an education isn’t just getting a job.
77% of today’s liberal arts grads spend 2 years unemployed after graduation.
