[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]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. [/b]

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.

^^^This.

My DD attended NCS in DC and played on the varsity team there and is friends with many of her teammates.  She went to VATech for Business Information Technology.  She had internships after her freshman, sophomore and junior year due to her connections with her NCS teammates whose parents are decision makers.  She recently graduated from VATech and received a job offer as an cybersecurity analyst with a Fortune 100 company because the CIO at the company is the father of one of her teammates at NCS.  Her VATech friends in BIT major, those without connections, are still looking for jobs.  [/quote]
