"A degree in an arts subject reduces average earnings to below those of someone who leaves school with just A-levels, a study shows.
Graduates in these subjects - including history and English - could expect to make between 2% and 10% less than those who quit education at 18, researchers at Warwick University found.
The findings come despite data showing the average university leaver earns �220,000 more than non-graduates during their working life.
Professor Ian Walker, leading the study, said: "Feeling warm about literature doesn't pay the rent. "
A-levels are what you graduate from high-school (in England) with. 'Arts' degrees include English, sociology, history: probably called liberal arts in the USA.
