kind of have to agree with Rudey here. Liberal arts degrees mean crap and are a dime a dozen. Liberal arts degrees are all about reading and writing. Which aren't bad skills to have. But if you have a degree in something more specialized- such as computers, math, accounting, science, nursing, even business etc. you are much more marketable because you have that more specialized knowledge. Most people with liberal arts degrees either go to grad school or get some random job that they hate, that doesn't pay that much, and that there's not a whole lot of opportunity to advance. Eventually they may get sick of that and get a graduate degree.
If you know for certain that you want to go to grad school, a liberal arts kind of degree isn't bad for a lot of fields. For law, it's pretty good because reading and writing skills are important. But then again, if you do something science related, you pair that with a law or business degree and you can do something more specialized that other people can't
