[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an English major, and it served me very well. Strong writing and textual analysis is part of the reason [b]I did well in law school[/b], got a coveted clerkship, and got offers from top law firms. Incidentally, being a strong writer also requires being a strong thinker. While it's a fairly generalized skill, it's one that many employers covet. Also, I enjoyed being an English major. It was a lot of work--so much reading--but it was usually a labor of love. I'm still an avid reader to this day.

Anyhow, I don't know where the world is going with AI. Nobody does. But I certainly wouldn't assume that CS, engineering, and other STEM fields are somehow safe from our future AI overlords. [/quote]
so once again, an undergrad in English requires a graduate degree.[/quote]

Do you really think your kid is going to get this great job out of undergrad and that’s that? I think of undergrad as a stepping stone.[/quote]
of course, but getting onto that first stepping stone is easier for some majors compared to others.

This doesn’t really answer the question on stepping stones, just a generic graphic on majors/enployment.[/quote]

The chart doesn't appear to take motivation or ambition into account.

?   Even a janitor can make it if they are motivated enough.[/quote]
