[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have this argument every few weeks, doesn’t everyone get tired of it?

I was a government major, my husband English. We have always had very solid middle class lives and our jobs are in demand.

My kids are also more skilled in the writing, communications, analysis, areas and are social science majors. Neither will have any trouble getting a job, and a well paying one at that.

I was just with an association CEO recently who was an English major, and now probably makes about $450k. I don’t know why people who are obsessed with Cs believe that the whole world needs to pursue a career in that field. There are a lot of jobs out there that actually make the world go around, even running tech companies, that do not require a tech degree.

I have helped a nonprofit hire STEM grads for their entry level job. Nothing is sadder than  a bio or Chem grad that decides research isn’t the career for them. These kids are making $45k out of college. Not worth pursuing those degrees in my mind.[/quote]
OP whose first link says that Marymount is eliminating MATH is clearly not tired of it.[/quote]
