The problem with the humanities education alone is the lack of well-paying work at the end of it. When I graduated from university I found several jobs that were intriguing, but the pay was a joke and opportunity for growth was almost non-existent. Without the real-world trade experience to combine with, there just doesn't seem to be much there that will pay the bills.
