Should I just go for the liberal arts major?

So Im three years into college and Ive (informally) changed my major 9 million times. Everything from engineering, accounting, and computer science to geography, history, and anthropology. I dont have a clear direction as to want I want to do with my life, but I could ultimately see myself working in education, government, social services, or maybe even hospitality. I dont want to be an engineer and Im not really a business person. Im kind of afraid of disappointing my parents, who never went to college, by picking a liberal arts major. I almost feel guilty, as if I have the luxury to just study something Im interested in, while other people are struggling just to have a job in this economy.

I think I would really enjoy majoring in history and minoring in anthropology and philosophy. (I know, could I be more liberal artsy?). Should I just go for it or should I do something more practical? Im so torn.

Thanks for any answers I get.
