[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I’m paying for a music major so I don’t see why not. In fact, I think humanities majors will have much less competition now that all these parents are forbidding their students from it.[/quote]
I think the question is what kind of job can your kid find with just a humanities undergrad degree.

Most grads don't come from family money. They need to find a job and pay the rent. Look how many millennials are living with their parents after graduation.  It's expensive to live on your own and financially take care of yourself.[/quote]

I get that, but young people aren’t widgets. My kid was born to be a musician and it’s the only thing he’s ever wanted to do. He won’t (and shouldn’t) turn into a computer science major just because I ask him to. If not for music he wouldn’t be going to college at all.[/quote]
Sure, but will he be able to pay his rent, cell phone bill, buy groceries and get health insurance after college?[/quote]
