but longer term the history major (or other quality liberal arts grad) can be highly successful.

It's sad to think that conservatives would fail to see value in a classic liberal education.

Please provide a list of undergraduate majors that are "quality liberal arts."

Thank you.

It's not the major, it's the quality of education. One could get a liberal arts education and major in biology or psychology or economics or computer science or philosophy or Russian or music theory.

Of course a liberal arts major will study a wide array of fields and should graduate as a sort of Renaissance Man (you know, people who got classic liberal educations!) who has the ability and flexibility to succeed in law, business, finance, politics - wherever interest takes him and opportunity presents. That's the ideal, anyway. Whether that describes the typical psych major at Texas A&M I doubt; the average graduate of a good liberal arts school like the University of Dallas is probably much closer to the mark.
