A perfect education for a newspaper or television news editor or writer.Is a Masters in Liberal Studies a worthy degree?
I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank-you to all of two those who've supported me in this and all of my endeavors.
Good luck and best wishes, alienzarecool.

The idea of 'liberal studies' sounds way too broad to be meaningful. Imagine a masters in 'science' (vs. biochemistry, human genetics, neurobiology, astrophysics, etc.). 'Science' is so broad a subject it would be impossible to even begin to cover it all at a meaningful level. However, a masters in a specific subset of science (e.g. neurobiology) would be a worthwhile (and productive) endeaver.
It may be wiser to focus on something specific that will enable you to develop some real expertise in a specific subject.
Best wishes and good luck.
The Master of Liberal Studies or Master of Liberal Arts (when liberal arts is the actual major) isn't intended to be a career credential. The purpose of the degree (and it excels at this) is to enhance your understanding of the world.
Whether it will be helpful in a given profession depends on the profession. I suspect that it would be highly beneficial to a writer or a teacher. Less benefit to an engineer or accountant.
Any education will improve you as a person and therefor increase your human capital - whether you can turn that into an occupational relationship depends on what you do for a living.
Make sure that we're talking about a major in Liberal Studies and not simply a degree title with a specific concentration. Many evening/extension schools use the degree title Master of Liberal Studies with a major. In that case, it would be about equal to a Master of Arts or Master of Science in that major.
