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.

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.
