[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're old -- the world has changed. The elites are not only a status badge, they're a ticket to a high-paying gig for even history majors, working in the best cities, they give the best financial aid, and it's a leg up in graduate admissions.[/quote]

What kind of high paying fields are history majors working in?

Liberal Arts degrees are a breeze compared to majors like engineering. What do employers value about these graduates? Are they just enthralled with the Ivys? [/quote]

My friend's husband has a BA in history from Yale. He was recruited straight into i-banking after college and they're rolling in it. This was in 2008. He's smart, analytical, writes well, and7 is fluent in the social scene for these types of professions.[/quote]

I was recruited into wall street/finance after college with a humanities degree. [/quote]

This happens practically only if you are at an ivy. It is extremely rare for elite wall street firms to be recruiting humanities majors from less prestigious schools.  [/quote]
