As every undergraduate knows, there is a hierarchy of majors based on degree of difficulty, and the morons usually end up in education, social work and the humanities because there is no math and the grading is easy. It usually doesn't take much for the professors in these areas to convince the students they are smart -- the students are the bottom of the barrel, just as the professors were when they were students.
If you are smart enough to be a professor in the humanities, you are also usually just smart enough to know that you'd never succeed in a world based on self-reliance. Hence, you become a liberal and go about the business of manufacturing liberals in order to propagate your existence. Fortunately, the job market has figured all of this out, and most students are on to the game as very few choose liberal arts majors nowadays.
Complete bilge. You don't think Literary studies or Philosophy requires analytical skills or for that matter that knowing how to write is important and a very valuable skill? You have to prove your arguments with citations from the text or your argument holds no water with a good Proffesor. With my experience it's the hard-science majors who tend to be non-transient and know one narrow field and little else...including how to express themselves. And hiring for Lioberal Arts majors is actualy up especially since the Tech bubble burst.
