The fact that a good percentage of the population would disagree with you on emotional grounds, however, suggests that you may want to find a commoner ground with those liberal artists, because they do know more than "shit" about the human condition.
#1 thing to study in college if you want an unmanageable debt because you're all but useless to society? Liberal Arts. I can't tell you how many people I know who have studied philosophy or logic with intent to be an academic and have never seen any use out of it, not because it's uninteresting but because it's always an expense, there is little demand for it on any professional level and as such the chances of finding someone willing to pay you to study or teach it professionally are low, and there are pretty much no valid commercial applications of it, no means for it to generate anywhere near the wealth of Science, Engineering and the like.
