[/quote]  "just don't major in it. lol".  Brilliant response.  I was a double major in history and psychology at a SLAC.  Competed for Rhodes, Marshall and other scholarships.  Went to Harvard Law School and could buy and sell you before breakfast.[/quote]

All this and you’re still too dumb to understand that your experience is not representative? 🙄[/quote]

The data show that the lifetime ROI on liberal arts degrees are as high or higher than technical degrees. Forbes did a full analysis on this.  It may take longer, but they pay off.  And they are more suited to people who are interested and good in those areas and less susceptible to automation.[/quote]

LOL no[/quote]

LOL No
There's difference between Liberal Arts College and Liberal Art Degree.

Liberal Arts Colleges have STEM majors especially things like applied math, CS, Data science, biochem, etc. 
Some even offer flavors of actual engineering programs, i.e. Swarthmore, etc.

Also there are shit ton of mediocre podunk universities(public or private), and shit ton of students from it with debts and waiting tables. 
Imagine majoring in history at a podunk university.  
Those are lowering the average.

People are interchangeably using liberal arts majors with humanities majors.
Arguably CS is liberal arts major if it's under Art & Science college. 
We are actually talking about HUMANITIES majors.

So STEM vs Humanities majors like history, literature, anthropology, communications, psychology, etc.

LOL No Kidding.
