Well, where "liberal art degree" often means "high-skilled labor". People struggling to pay off college debt includes:

- teachers and childcare workers

- special education and/or disability workers

- librarians

- social workers, therapists, mental health workers

- cnas, medical billing, and other heathcare admin

- and many more not listed above

People often seem to assume "liberal arts" translates to a fake profession, like "underwater basketweaving" or "economist" or something "silly". And while that's occasionally true, most folks with a Liberal Arts degree are hard-working career-oriented people, who society just pays terribly, arbitrarily, because they can. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_education#Modern_...
