While I majored in Mathematics and have an MBA (and now work in finance, but don't do anything beyond high school math in my job), liberal arts majors often find good jobs that aren't in their fields. Hopefully, a liberal (not politically liberal!) education can teach students how to read something and comprehend it, how to write, how to think objectively, etc. While there are certain jobs -- chemical engineers, accountants, pilots, for instance -- that require a specific skill set, there are other jobs that really can only be learned on the job. Working as an editor in a publishing compnay, for instance, or even journalism. Sure, internships in journalism would be helpful, but knowing how to write is obviously the most important skill.
