I think that, as with lots of other things, it depends on why one chooses the liberal arts degree and what one expects pursuant to it.

For that matter, contrast my old acquaintance the math major who pulled decent grades from the same good research institution I attended as an undergrad, then worked a few years looking up numbers for actuaries because he couldn't think of something more interesting / ambitious he wanted to do. Dunno what he does now.
