I absolutely will still disagree with all of you. But perhaps things are different in the US.
Here, employers do want people with liberal arts degrees. So many people at my company who work in marketing, and communications have liberal arts degree. Many only have college diplomas. They are highly saught after people. In fact, the only people in my company that have sepcialized degrees are Counsel and those that work in the labs.
I don't think telling her to major in something she has absolutely no interest in just so she can get a job is bad advice. There are so many computer science major and engineering majors and business majors that do not have jobs. Those degrees are quite meaningless too.
To the OP, you need to do something that you are interested in. No matter what your major is, you will find a job. If you want a skill. Go to community college. If you want a degree, stay in university. It's quite simple. We need people with liberal arts degrees, because if everyone had a specialized degree like CS or engineering, or what have you, there wouldn't be any jobs left in those fields.
