It didn't take me long to finish it either (1 1/2 years), since I had most of my core classes done for CE (Physics/Calculus/English), those classes wiped out my need to take any more math and English, so all I had to focus on was the specialized classes, even squeezed extra classes in so that I could have an even broader range to work in, such as Accounting and Business Management.

Now what kind of job is that person going to be able to do with that Liberal Arts Degree? and how strong is the job field/demand for people with that degree?

Science. Technology. Engineering. Math. 

Did you know science and math are liberal arts?  So half of STEM is liberal arts. If someone is in an engineering program and is required to fill distribution requirements in the humanities and social sciences they are receiving a liberal arts education. 

Ask a guy like David Patreus about career opportunities for people with a liberal arts degree.
