[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can we NOT have this discuss again? this was posted several weeks ago, we've already hashed it out ad nauseam.

I have to kids who are humanities majors, politics and anthropology. I was a humanities major (political science) and my DH was as well (english). in fact every other member of my side of the family, all humanities majors (math, econ, etc). Not every kid should be, or needs to be an engineering major people.[/quote]

+1, I do not understand why people are so obsessed with explaining for the millionth time that they think the only way to ever make enough money to live is to major in a STEM field and no other jobs exist. Especially weird in DC where there are thousands and thousands of people working in non-STEM jobs, grateful for their useful humanities degree which has allowed them to have an interesting and rewarding career that also somehow pays their mortgage and helps them save for their own kids' college. And we do it even not coming from family money or having a trust fund! There are many of us, it's very weird how this group of DCUM poster is convinced we do not exist.[/quote]

STEM majors can go into both STEM and non-STEM jobs whereas humanities major can only go into non-STEM jobs.  :mrgreen: [/quote]

Ha what's up with the glee? "yay these people can't get jobs in this field!" But Humanities majors go into STEM all the time, and more to the point, there are still millions and millions of non-STEM jobs. [/quote]
