[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so what does DCUM recommend for a kid who has good stats? DC does not have a particular passion for anything and is pretty much open to studying anything except the humanities (is decent but still hate writing). Seems every careers is up in the air with AI. I don't think he can handle plumbing (not very handy and probably does not have the strength to lift anything too heavy) [/quote]

What are favorite subjects and topics?

Lots of anthropology majors at Dartmouth and Yale end up in consulting or finance…[/quote]

Yeah but that’s Dartmouth and Yale. There are maybe 10-15 schools where Anthropology majors can go into lucrative fields. Even at good school schools like Michigan and UVA, Anthropology majors are not going to be getting into consulting or finance unless they’re very connected or a varsity athlete.[/quote]

My dd is getting an anthropology  degree at UVA and has had great internships each year, all in nonprofit though. I suspect she will graduate next year with a great job though she is not gonna be doing soulless consulting work for sure.[/quote]

lol.  Anthropology.  She will not be getting a job that doesn't have a uniform with a paper hat.[/quote]

Seems like the social science majors are doing just fine employment-wise.  Anthropologists often have strong research methods training and understanding of people/organizations--they often get hired by research firms and HR departments.[/quote]

+1
It’s the computer science majors who are getting their offers rescinded…[/quote]
uh.. read through the thread. It's other majors, too.[/quote]

I did. Seems overwhelmingly tech related.[/quote]
