You got it! Professional careers are where the payoff is. If your majoring in liberal arts I wish you luck, you will need a masters degree in order to find work and that 6yrs of education may not pay off in the end as you may well be finding your employement in retail sales or just a very low paying job.

On the other hand you take Accountants , Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, and Scientists and they are guranteed to be making good money out of college as their is a tremendous need in our society for these disciplines.
