[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter will be a college graduate. Many can't state such.

She'll be fine.[/quote]
She will be competing with other college graduates with more marketable degrees for those high paying jobs.

Most of the good paying jobs for art history majors are in teaching, which requires a masters/PhD, which means paying even more money to earn a decent salary.

There are only so many museum director roles, and a college graduate is certainly not going to get such a job in 3 to 5 years, let alone just out of college.

Define "high paying" straight out of college.

Do you happen to know the median income in the U.S. for a middle class household?

A bachelor's degree will go towards at least being in the middle class. Then improve from there. [/quote]
ok, it's not even "high paying".  She'll be lucky to get a job that pays $40k out of college.

A bachelor's degree in art history isn't going to be enough to be middle class in a hcol area like NY, LA, DC.   Pay goes with col.   Just google jobs in the midwest in the museum field for entry level.  They pay like $15  an hour.   A barista makes about that much.   You can make more in hcol but again, the col would make that "higher wage minimum wage.  In CA $50K is low wage.   You would qualify for government assistance in CA with that salary.
