If You Want Your Child to Succeed, Don’t Sell Liberal Arts Short

True. And a lot has changed, for example the explosion in entrepreneurship - which is even less restrictive with regards to college degrees.

Also, those of us over 50 are often the ones hiring the 20-year olds, so it’s not like we have zero insight into what the job market looks like today.

Things have changed significantly even since 2008 (thankfully), when there were very few entry-level jobs regardless of the degree you graduated with.

What hasn’t changed - and in fact employers are being more vocal about it - is the need to hire people who can think on their feet, who can do stellar presentations, who can seek out and capitalize on new opportunities, and who can help set strategies. All skills that humanities-type liberal arts can help strengthen.
