[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, I bet most people on DCUM were liberal arts majors. This board seems populated with upper income people earning multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars, rather than computer programmers, nurses, accountants, and lab technicians toiling for $50k to $75k per year.[/quote]

People need to qualify these things then: when they graduated, where from, and how they got on their career track then.

A history major from geogetown SFS or princeton has options more open for a wider variety of careers than one from a state school.

As someone who has an intense passion in history and geography and wish I double majored in it - if my children wanted to major in it but did not get into a top 25 private with great recruiting for a wide variety of careers, i would ask them to double up in econ, applied math, cs, finance, even take the 8 pre-med foundtaion classes....OR do rotc/ocs.

something to augment it. It's a different recruiting world out there.
