>>2 Not only liberal arts, the economy in general isn't doing so well. Like what my lecturer would say, once you're out of uni everyone will be competing on equal grounds- everyone will have a degree. Getting a degree isn't as important as it used to be in the past. In the past it's a social status, people use it for bragging rights. Now, not so much. Rather it feels mandatory to have one for a job (nothing wrong btw). Just that the way I see it it's nothing more than pieces of paper.
Employers don't look out for people who get straight As in unis.
"What we're looking out for are people with passion, people who are innovative, who are creative thinkers who can think even when there's no box around. You got straight As in uni? That's great, but if u don't meet the trait requirements it'll be harder for us to hire u.
If u don't have passion, hobby, or interest in something, I would suggest going for a business degree. It's general, but it can be used as a foundation if u plan to switch career. Depending on your country, engineers can be in demand too.
Hope this helps~
Just out of curiosity, which country are u in?
