Who is setting the criteria for an “insufficient job for their training”.
I’d argue liberal arts, fine arts, nor art history have a worthwhile career opportunity after college especially considering how much they would have paid for their degrees.
I’d guess they’re overvaluing their “training”. Hell any job that pays those three majors is probably overpaying

Typically it means things like having a college degree but working at a job that doesn’t require one.

A bunch of those people go to law school or go work for the family business so they end up getting paid despite the relatively useless undergrad degrees. Hell if you know you are going to law school (and aren't specializing in patent law or tax law or something like that) or are already set up with a management job in the family business, you might as well take a chill/easy undergrad degree with classes with loose liberal college chicks.

There are lucrative jobs that require Fine Arts or Art History degrees but they are very limited. Primarily concentrated in large cities and primarily at large prestigious auction houses. There are also a decent number of jobs in the field that offer salaries that allow a comfortable living but again those are concentrated in large cities and at the larger museums.
A Liberal Arts degree (different from a Liberal Arts education) is too broad of a study field to get a great job with just a 4 year degree it is really more a pre-cursor to a lot of graduate studies.
