One point made consistently in this article is that life is getting harder for a graduate of the liberal arts. There are a plethora of articles that espouse the notion that art doesn't pay.
Yet, how is that surprising? You're taking four years to complete a degree program that provides you with no (measurable) practical skill.

Here's a tragic anecdote: I knew a retired Fireman in San Francisco who was in his late 70s, had his house paid off, with a full pension and health insurance. I asked him: "after WW2, what did people with liberal arts degrees do to find a job?" His response: "Oh, they'd just make a resume, walk into Clorox and get a job. Didn't you know?" No, I did not know. And I never will.
