[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is to steer clear of liberal arts majors unless heading into law school or med school or PhD programs. You have to have pragmatic skills to be useful in today’s workforce. The jobs that aren’t going away anytime soon are the client facing roles - sales engineering, territory managers, med device sales, consulting, account management. But to land these roles you also need strong analytical skills, data analysis, etc. The back office support roles (comms, mrktg, finance, hr, purchasing, ops) are being heavily supported or advanced now due to ai enhancements. We still need some entry level roles but not nearly as many.  [/quote]

It’s exactly the opposite with AI^^

My kid is at an Ivy (non-Stem/non-business) and has had a successful internship (one last summer and Fall semester) and one lined up for the summer. [/quote]

Those connections help. The profs in my kid’s small department love him so they coach him to apply to a lot of those opportunities. [b]It’s where the Ivy pays off[/b][b]. [/quote]
Dang. Why didnt we think of that?  Should've attended an ivy. [/quote]
Like it or not it helps a great deal[/quote]
