[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter changed her major without telling us, she changed her major back 2 years ago.  We never emailed the dean or anyone at the school because she was getting good grades and everything was going well.  Now she is telling us in May she will be graduating in a degree in Art History, and she learned on Google that she might be able to get a job working as a Subway... What jobs can someone with a Art History BS get?[/quote]

I have a B.A. in Art History and I am now a lawyer (commercial litigator, est. 250k).  I know very few liberal arts majors who ever worked in their B.A. major area.  Your DD is no worse off than a sociology/political science/anthology major.  She'll be fine but, unlike an accounting/nursing/ Comp Sci major, she'll take extra time to figure it out.[/quote]

I'm a history major who works with other history majors and English majors in fintech. We're fine. 
I know two art history majors. One became a lawyer and then a judge. The other is from a very wealthy family and makes pottery in Asheville. [/quote]
