| I would like to echo Philper's sentiments.
Not only is a liberal arts degree useful in developing depth of thought in your chosen area of employment, perhaps more importantly it broadens general knowledge, all the while developing your skills as a learner.
In a constantly evolving and developing field like audio-post, knowing how to find answers, how to read effectively, and how to communicate your ideas with clarity seem to me to be very important skills. College is not the only way to acquire these skills, but it has proven to be a very effective one. Many colleges (public and private) are now offering Recording Arts degree programs, which would give you a major in your field of choice, an instantaneous network system (and hopefully robust career services department), while still requiring you to have some breadth to your education.
Furthermore, while I was in college I found plenty of time for any number of extra-curricular activities, not the least of which was interning part-time at a recording studio. Oh and partying. That too.
my 2 cents,
-Abe
