However, if $ isn't the issue, they may be very rewarding. That's what college used to be...more of an education rather than training. Companies used to hire liberal arts majors all the time BECAUSE of their well-roundednees. That simply doesn't happen anymore.
College also used to be A LOT cheaper, and that brings me back to the true issue here, government backed student loans. If you trace this issue back to the source, that is always where you end up.

Oh, I agree with you. IMO gov. backed student loans should be tied to current needs. Right now we should offer more loans/grants for engineering majors...not so much for Art History.
