Sadly, my experience trying to get a job with a liberal arts degree has turned me around on that subject. Not as strongly as you were, but we definitely shouldn't be spending tax money to have people major in Uselessness 101.

I know many people who got liberal arts degrees making six figures. Perhaps its the kind of jobs you are looking for that are the problem, or what you are willing to do. Also, don't underestimate the utter terribleness of the job market for over two years and its role in it being hard to find a job.
