No, next question.

No- it takes money to get the degree, then you end up working as a secretary trying to climb the corporate ladder anyways.
Second worse is journalism. Very few people make it anywhere better with that degree than with none.
Good degrees for the bucks include engineering and computer programing, and business management.
If you have no soul and don't mind terrible stress all day, and possibly developing a drinking problem high level sales can be very lucrative and often does not require a degree if you have "The skills to pay the bills".
(No disrespect to the many honest sales reps out there)
So unless you are independently wealthy and just like to be well rounded for the sake of study, not a real good career move.
Check out the Department of Labor web site for the Career outlook and look at some careers you might be interested in, it will tell you the education typically needed, and work backwards from there.

Yes - as long as you have classes which give you a broad background.
As a liberal arts major, it will be hard to find high paying jobs (think technical, etc.) but you can choose almost any entry level field.
Many teachers start off as liberal arts majors and return to school for certification.

in the long run, absolutely. however, in the short run right after graduation it sucks. you have to be prepared to pay your dues.
i make 35k a year out of college with a liberal arts degree (history), but my friends who have technical degrees (engineers) are pulling in 60k+. however, their max income farther down the line is going to be capped.
i recommend going for a liberal arts degree if you don't know what you want to do career wise.
good luck

No, I don't think so, honestly. Unless you want to do something real specific and stay there for a long time, which means you'd have no lateral career move options.
I don't think degrees are worth the paper they're written on, frankly, I have a BA & an MBA and I haven't seen anything come of it except debt.

There are some jobs that just require you to have a degree, such as postal service or air traffic controller but most people I hear just laugh at a liberal arts degree. Sort of like, you didn't know what you wanted to do and just went to college to please mom and dad.

You would probably have to get entry level experience somewhere and then move up but at least you will be qualified for promotions that require a batchelor's degree.

No. Get a real major. Its hard enough even if you have one. Better change that major and get an internship or you'll be no better off than when u left to college. Quit being lazy
