Certainly not and I'm not downplaying the importance of liberal arts degrees, it's just that right now their ROI is terrible. Unless you go to a private school, state schools should never cost $20k per year - ever. I can't believe my alma mater costs $9k + room/board per year, it's not worth it for even STEM. The only solution is bringing costs down. Plain and simple. If a majority of students can't pay for in-state college alone or with help from family the system is not working as intended.
