@Marvelfan ,
I recommend putting your post (also) in the College Majors forum, since many people who like to help with major choices go there.
I’ll re-post here comments of @juillet I earlier submitted on creativewriter4’s thread:
Ruling out all of the humanities, social sciences, arts, and life sciences as unsuitable for work post-college is just silly. The vast majority of recent graduates in those fields find work after college, and the majority of them aren’t underemployed as Starbucks baristas or burger-flippers, either. There’s ample research out there showing this.
…The other thing is that as was already stated, your major and what you study don’t nail you down to one thing for the rest of your life. I majored in psychology; my PhD is in psychology + public health. I work for a tech company…I know a philosophy major who’s the COO of a company now. He worked with them part-time in college and worked his way up. I know an English major who works at a major F500 company, and a psych major who’s in banking; a history major who’s a Naval officer.
The unemployment rate for recent college graduates in music (8.6%) is about the same or lower than accounting (8.8%), computer science (8.7%), mechanical engineering (8.1%) - and economics too (10.4%), btw. Art history is a bit more of a struggle, but the vast majority of art history majors are employed after college.
The myth that you have to go to graduate school in order to get a job after majoring in the social sciences and humanities is just that - a myth. Most people probably now many professionals who have humanities and social sciences BAs.
juillet asserts that every one of the majors you are considering is good enough to get a job. If you post on the College Majors forum, you’ll likely get a reply from her tailored to you.
