I was actually speaking about friends that have already graduated with BA's and are doing really well for themselves post-graduation, as I'm in my last year at UBC. While getting an undergraduate degree in ANYTHING is become more and more common now, you could say the exact same thing about the success of those doing Bachelor of Science or Commerce degrees. You can't really do much with a BSc unless you go into grad school because no one wants to hire undergrads for their labs, and Comm degrees are so oversaturated in the job market right now. The bottom line is that whatever you're taking, you're not going to be successful unless you work hard and get relevant experience. It's kind of laughable that you think a business degree isn't just as "worthless" as an Arts degree, as most Arts graduates end up in the same fields as those with business degrees. Literally anyone could take accounting, marketing, finance, HR, economics (and many who are in Arts take those things anyway). It's not exactly engineering or rocket science. And yeah, duh, you can go to trade school and make a ton of money in welding or mechanics or plumbing if that's really what you want to do with your life, but not everyone wants to do that. So this is a stupid discussion to be having, in a weird place? What works or doesn't work for one person isn't the same for everyone. I and plenty of people I know are doing well with Arts degrees. You had a different experience. That's fine, move on.
