Liberal Arts degrees are fantastically useful in the fields of sales and marketing. Tons of MBAs have liberal arts undergrad degrees. Tons of lawyers have liberal arts degrees. Tons of real estate agents have liberal arts degrees. Tons of professional con artists, police agents, and intelligence officers have liberal arts degrees.

The idea that the degree is useless, that you can't get a job, or that you are only able to work in academia is entirely false.

The problem with these degrees is that they teach you how to be horrifyingly evil and then politely ask you not to, while dangling an enormous bucket of cash in your face to do exactly that.
