[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like that’s all kids are majoring in. Many without the passion for it. Both fields are oversaturated with a lot of kids having no business being in these programs. Can we get a pendulum swing and have a push into [b]humanities[/b] and trade schools?[/quote]

Pay shit ton of $$$ and major in humanities ??[/quote]

The two humanities grads we know (top10 undergrad) are headed to JPmorgan and harvard law. Most of their friends secured similarly impressive next-steps. The stem majors also have excellent opportunities lined up but folks do not seem surprised by stem doing well. However the stem majors from nonelite schools do much better than humanities at the same school. Major is not as important as the undergrad prestige [/quote]

Schools beyond the top 10 also cost $$$. ROI in humanities is not there for the vast majority of students. [/quote]
Mostly self induced. The humanities grads willing to pivot through sales, communications, and consulting positions do fine. Many students are delusional and want to be editors, publishers, archivists, writers, or academics. You need to be adaptable.[/quote]
