I don't know. It seems a Liberal Arts degree isn't any more worthless than a business degree these days. Most people have degrees in one field, but work in a totally different field. It all depends on the economy as well. If companies aren't hiring (like what's been happening over the past three years) then even an MBA is worthless. Welcome to the new America! My wife has a Finance degree from a prestigious B&M school, worked several years in the banking industry, has a law degree from another prestigious school in new england, and she has been reduced to working at a University as an Instructor (not professor) for $40,000 per year. A figure she used to double in bonuses alone. It sucks out there.
