Regarding the Liberal Arts degrees, of course they aren't worthless but I don't feel they are nearly as beneficial as having a specific degree in a highly desired field. That said, if they can be obtained in addition to another degree as a supplement, even better. Along the way, I was one, maybe two classes short of acquiring an Associates in Liberal Arts in addition to the one I was working towards. In the end I added the extra class(es) to my schedule "just to have it".
The point I'm trying to make is that a good school (in general, not a comment on where I went) is going to already be providing a well rounded education in addition to a specific focus in many cases. Those that do well with a Liberal Arts degree are probably going to end up finding their niche anyway (with or without the paper).
