Why would it change? Why would English and history majors be in demand unless it's for teaching English or history? [/quote]

Huge demand for them in brand and marketing departments in Fortune 500 companies. I'm serious.

The ability to write well and tell stories is highly coveted.[/quote]

Fortunate 500 companies should really reconsider hiring woke female English majors (a highly redundant formulation, I know) who "tell stories" that actively alienate their customers (see: Bud Lite, Target).[/quote]

There are people with degrees in marketing and communications. Why is there an assumption that a degree that prepares you for nothing is the best preparation for any career? [/quote]
Now a days marketing involves using social media, created by the CS industry.  Print ads are going by the wayside.[/quote]

It's even better at writing code![/quote]
