Message: [QUOTE="NHUConnfan, post: 2640109, member: 647"] But it's all a matter of perspective.

Frankly, the idea that social science majors are few and very low pay is just a matter of perspective. If you want to pigeonhole majors into specific careers then yeah, you're going to find data that supports that. But the reality is that [URL='https://www.chronicle.com/article/Over-Time-Humanities-Grads/242461']humanities majors actually close the pay gap over time[/URL]. And that is because [INDENT]"humanities majors are open to pursuing a variety of jobs in a lifetime — like management or other high-paying positions. For example, one million people with humanities degrees work in management, and some 600,000 work in business and financial operations. A quarter of the legal profession is made up of humanities majors." [/INDENT] So...humanities majors are useless, eh? [/QUOTE]
