"Liberal Arts" has more job opportunities related to its subject matter than science and engineering courses.

Regardless, if you want to make money go get an apprenticeship or build houses.

Builders make more money and they make it from an earlier age than most graduates.

In the UK a builder makes more aged 21 than a Nuclear Engineering graduate from ICL makes aged 28. And the builder has earned since he was 16.

Liberal arts major here. See, this thread details the difference between someone involved in a social science or art degree. We don't do it for the pay, but instead for a genuine love of what we are doing.

Math/Engineering/what-have-you majors however only do it for a paycheck, and you know what? You'll hear it here first, it's just downright pathetic.

You do know that some of us enjoy what we are going to school for?

If I did not owe tons of money, I would go to grad school and get a post-doc job. They pay around 50k a year(poor for an engineering job), but you get to work on a research project that you are interested in. After 5 years or so of post-doc most people can move into an academic position.

However I owe money. Thankfully the oil industry pays very well(85k+ starting for a BS)

Believe it or not, there are people who enjoy doing graduate level research in their field. Research options in industry are extremely limited compared to what you can do at a decent state school, for example.

Also, believe it or not, there exist engineering positions outside of academia that require a PhD.
