It seems to me then that college, and liberal arts in particular, were meant to be pursued by the wealthy upper class, who wouldn't mind dropping that kind of money on a degree whose (monetary) ROI is so bad.

It actually makes sense when you think of who the first college students were: its only very recently that we've embraced the idea of college education for everyone.
