Why do some people see liberal arts degrees as useless? Saw an earlier post where many bashed the liberal arts. As someone who both interviews and manages undergrad hires, I haven’t seen a big difference between say a philosophy major, a business major, or an engineering major. While there are technical jobs that need specific skills, most entry level consulting, finance, and industry roles don’t. It boggles my mind how someone would say they would pick accounting over liberal arts every time.
