Anyone with half a brain a) would not have this opinion, and b) even if they had this opinion, would not voice it with such confidence.

I think a good determinant of class and intellect is how one feels about SLACs. I find that it is ignorant low class striver types who are really hateful towards SLACs. They don't get the value of a liberal arts education. It is all "you must be a finance or engineering major or pre-med." I think there is likely a political divide on this as well.[/quote]

The top SLACs have very meh yield for a reason.  Amherst is at an abysmal 39%, williams at 43%. Pomona barely better at 50%.[/quote]

Yea, terrible to want to be employed in a good job during a tough economy.  Imagine being an english or philo major at any of these SLACs.[/quote]

You're proving the OP's point. There are lots of jobs out there beyond engineering and banking. Consulting firms love these types. And there are many jobs in corporate America (the horror!) that also value the ability to communicate. I work at a big bank and as long as a kid shows some basic quantitative skills, I love hiring liberal arts majors.[/quote]
