1)  As an undergraduate, I knew enough to know jargon-laden gibberish when I saw it.  Sociology, in particular, has obtained an even stronger reputation for jargon-laced BS over the past 40 years.  I'm surprised you don't know that. 

2)  What literate people say about legal writing being crammed with legalistic jargon is generally true.

3)  Ideally, softer sciences teach in a way that leads us to God.  I recognize that in a pluralist secular society, state-run universities cannot do that.  

4)  I agree, chasing the almighty buck is not a God-centered life.  Which is why I said that since the main meaning of life is more important to a Catholic than a bridge, it would seem that "a well-taught, Christ-centered philosophy degree is more valuable than an engineering degree."
