The statement about no one looking for a BA in psych is false. I have many years of experience of looking for jobs that want a psych degree because I have a related degree. I've, literally, applied to hundreds of jobs that specifically mentioned wanting a bachelor's in psychology.
Now, can you get those same jobs with a BS in liberal studies? Yes, but you'll need to demonstrate that you've taken a significant amount of coursework in human services-related subjects. So, I don't think you need a BA in psych, but if you didn't already have a degree, I would have recommended psych over liberal studies. Liberal studies, general studies, interdisciplinary studies, and general studies programs should ALWAYS be absolute last resorts.
