All this and you’re still too dumb to understand that your experience is not representative? 🙄
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.

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.
You would have benefited from a well rounded liberal arts education.

Some of you have a very limited understanding of the world.
HUH? Chemistry degree is a B.S. with a minor in music. Those of us with Chem, Engineering, Bio degrees are awarded a 'Bachelor of Science' B.S., not a Bachelor of Arts'B.A.
You have a BS degree in science and don’t realize that your degree is in the liberal arts?!— SMH
BA degrees focus on humanities arts within the liberal arts. BS degrees within the liberal arts focus on math and science.
I had one year Freshmen English, 1 history requirement and Psychology. The rest of my courses 98% were hard core science. The last two years all science. I had 4 hours of lab after my morning courses (7:30-noon). No matter what you call it, it was not liberal arts.
I hope you are young and still learning because your knowledge is limited.

Wow— all those hard core science classes and you don’t know how to do research or developed any critical thinking:
Chemistry is under the umbrella of liberal arts:

Sigh. Consigned to life as a barista. I'm sure creating that next delicious coffee drink does require some chemical wizardry.

That is meaningless. Chemistry, bio, physics, math etc are still considered “liberal arts”, all sciences are.

Right. But most people don't get into Harvard law, regardless of undergraduate degree.
You just really want the opposite to be true. Why? There are many ways to succeed w/ a liberal arts degree. Just be open to it rather than telling everyone that their story is not the norm.
