The problem with an engineering student telling a liberal arts student that their degree isn't valuable, is that the engineering student's opinion is very rarely grounded in experience. Although one group happens to have the "right" opinion, that's all it is until reality vindicates it.
Does a fact need to be grounded in personal experience? I know that 10 gigabit ethernet exists, but I have never actually experienced it. Likewise, I know that a degree in history increases someone's expected earnings much less than a degree in nuclear engineering. Even though I have no personal experience in those areas.
