I'm a high school senior who has talked to a lot of people older than me of all kinds of stripes about college, and you are inquiring from premises that are just wrong. First, you make a mistake in thinking that non-STEM degrees are meant to confer to you some serious knowledge of that thing. That is not true, with exceptions for practical things like law or whatever. Second, what non-STEM degrees *are* any good for is >>17331090 (i.e. having a degree proves to employers you have an at least 90 IQ and can handle mild academic rigor). While that effect will wane over time with credential inflation and the pozzing of higher education, it's still in place for now. Third, if you go to the right schools, often Ivies but most definitely not exclusively Ivies, you can make connections through faculty and so on with such degrees that will give you a leg up if you try to actually be employed in that particular field.
You shouldn't go into those degrees expecting to get enough of a return on investment to pay back anything more than modest debt ("worth the money) easily, or to have enjoyable and insightful discussions, unless you're at certain choice schools.
