Are these majors equivalent as far as post-college opportunities?

I disagree. All of these majors require grad school unless you go to law school instead. Don’t go broke sending a kid to school for these majors.

No. Half of the history majors at kid's T10 went into consulting or other top companies, most of the rest are headed to law school or med school. Only a few went grad school for masters/phD. PhD is free and includes living stipends--no extra $ needed from parents. Top masters programs often have partial funding these days.

Agree.
At Northwestern the history majors get top banking and consulting jobs too.

Well, this SLAC history and psych double major is. That and good grades and good LSAT got me into Law school. Otherwise, the majors would have been a waste of time. Only one fellow history major went on to get a PhD and teach. No one from my psych department did

The CIA likes history majors.
