[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi!  Just curious if you were any of the above majors, could you tell me what you do now.  Or if your child is studying any of the above things, what do you think they will do with it.

DD simply arbors math, physics and thinks she hates any kind of science.  Sad, she had a really lousy biology teacher freshman year at her school and is so turned off. Whatever.

Doesn’t want to be a lawyer, teacher, or librarian.  Teachers are so horribly treated theses days and I am a librarian and they finish lowest on the totem pole in my federal agency.  Unappreciated and underpaid.

I am asking because we are trying to choose colleges that might have additional areas that she can minor in to make such a degree more marketable.

So.... that's truly terrible
I majored in philosophy, then worked at an investment bank, then got my master's, now work in consulting. Not from a T25 or highly regarded SLAC.
Humanities/social science majors pose no issue in job security for a student that is adept at representing themselves/communicating well.[/quote]

+10.  Thank you philosophy major!   I love people like you.  What did you get your masters in?

Public Policy. I could have stayed at the Investment Bank I worked at after college. I probably would have moved up and probably my earnings would be better at this point, but I wanted to do something different. I still do fine and have a great WLB so no regrets.[/quote]

NP
Is Public Policy good major for humanity students with great writing skills?[/quote]

It’s ok.

Public policy majors in 2022 without strong data analytics skills are kinda not competitive unless you go to a top top school or have lots of connections
