[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, your personal connections and network matter far more than your major (or you school) in getting a 1st job out of college. I've heard several people with humanities majors getting positions at companies by parents of friends they went to middle school or a good K-8. These jobs are in many types of companies (advertising, tech, consulting, business) and many with humanities backgrounds go into sales, marketing entry roles where good writing and professional persuasion and ability to learn help. [/quote] This is key. If I was a first gen college student without any connections, I would hedge and get something practical. That is why elite colleges help lower income students so much more. Whether my DC go to Dartmouth or Dayton, they still have connections through family and friends. [/quote]
