Despite my pursuit of a liberal arts (International Relations) degree in college and the accompanying troubles with job-hunting, I must say that a well-rounded liberal education still has value even if the job market has not adjusted to match that value. I would put that blame on employers as a whole which seem to have very finicky needs and demands and do not acknowledge the realities of the labor supply

Like one job i was looking at that wanted Mandarin fluency for a glorified secretary job, in an industry with nothing directly to do with China.

I don't know.  I'd actually bet they probably got that secretary who speaks mandarin.

Something like 40% of college graduates don't get a job in their field, and 53% are undermployed or unemployed.
