Pretty Little Lyres
Born 1980, I majored in Latin American studies and people asked "what on earth are you going to do with that?" and I joined the Marines. Got out and went to grad school on the GI Bill for Middle Eastern studies, got a stressful but good paying job in DC for five years, now working for a green energy firm doing African development. So ymmv but vague liberal arts degrees combined with serious writing and research skills (including a buttload of serious Wikipedia editing which was insanely useful for my DC job) certainly ended up working out for me.
