[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem is the way that corporations hire. There was a time that you could major in history and get a good job. For example, Sam Palmisano was a history major that went into sales at IBM and became CEO. I wonder if he would be hired today. Seems that many corporations want to hire students that have technical skills (engineering, business ...) rather than students that have potential that they will train. I believe in a liberal arts education but it can be tricky to get the first job, and college is stupid expensive.[/quote] +100 A CS major can go into almost any corporate job, but a History major will be limited to low-paying ones like copywriting or marketing.
