Fact is, most Liberal Arts degrees only qualify you to teach the next generation of Liberal Arts majors - so if you can’t get a teacher or professor job you are out of luck. I have spoken with music and theater majors that think they are going to make a living playing an instrument, singing or acting. Good luck with that. A very few do, the vast majority teach or starve.

Arts degrees should not cost that much -- what is the sunken cost for them? much lower than for engineering.
Also, I believe people should have these as minors, not majors -- I love history, but majored in mechanical engineering
