On the other hand, I know plenty of liberal arts grads who are pulling

Doing what?

Do you even know what "the liberal arts" are?

In modern colleges and universities, liberal arts include literature,
languages, philosophy, history, mathematics, the physical and biological
sciences, and the social sciences.

I'm a liberal arts grad. I started earning an annual income in the six
figures in the 1970's, and I still am earning at that level from work I
do, even though I have cut back some.

I have friends who are professors at several local universities who are
earning six figure salaries, and they are all liberal arts grads.

Most of my advertising, PR and marketing colleagues earn substantial six
figure salaries and bonuses.

There are many scientists at the NIH and other health and science
related agencies that earn in the six figures.

We know at least a dozen psychotherapists who earn more than $100,000 a
year.

The highest salaried guy I know as a close friend, a recent retiree,
earned more than $500,000 a year at his job. He's a lit and history grad
of the University of Notre Dame.

I know dozens and dozens of liberal arts grads earning well over
$100,000 a year. As far as I know, none were trained by the Navy.
