Click on the columns to judge by whatever metric you want. In the end, all you need is common sense: liberal arts degrees are less difficult and generally regarded as more fun. Therefore, more people want to pursue them. In other words, demand is greater for those degrees and the supply of workers with those degrees is relatively high. It stands to reason that it's harder to get a job - a well-paying job at that - with a liberal arts degree than with most other sorts of degrees.

And I'm saying if you doubt the data presented by the WSJ - for which I don't really blame you – then, regardless, the fundamental and simple economic principles explain why a liberal arts major is inherently less promising than non-liberal arts majors.

So forget the WSJ thing I posted, and just understand this:

Humanities and liberal arts majors are generally regarded as easier and more fun than other majors (e.g., computer science, electrical engineering, etc.). Because of this, there is a relatively greater supply of people looking for jobs with liberal arts/humanities majors than those who with degrees which are more practical and/or harder to obtain. Not only is the supply of people with such majors relatively high, they also have fewer applicable skills from their educational background than those with, say, professional degrees. Needless to say, the supply of people with liberal arts degrees vastly exceeds the demand for them in the workforce. The disparity is more than almost any other type of degree.

It's not that complicated. If you still want to doubt whether you'll have just as easy of a time finding a well-paying job as your engineering friends, just wait 30 years.
