<p>Of course not, where would the STEM students who are flunking out go? (That’s a JOKE, folks!) Seriously, the demand for liberal arts degrees will remain strong. I just don’t see massive shifts to STEM, as good as that would be for the country and the jobs picture.</p>
<p>As Lemaitre1 notes, liberal arts degrees are good business for colleges - high demand, low cost to deliver.</p>
<p>One thing that may help mitigate the angst: degree holders are still in a lot better shape than those without degrees. On CNN today, I saw a stat that said the unemployment rate for those with college degrees was just 4.5%, half the national average.</p>
