Is this thread meant for just airing your own views and chewing the fat in general? I don’t usually participate in those. Or are you deciding to go to a LAC or not? FYI this comes up a lot and you might try searching for similar threads
I think you are mixing up undergrad degrees with grad degrees and that isn’t logical. Law is a grad degree. Sure some history majors choose law but so do some engineers and CS majors who want to be patent attorneys. A lot of humanities might end up the same places as other majors --two kids who were in my daughters high school class work at Google and they were sociology and art history majors. The chem major is teaching. Another lac kid studying geology is getting a Ph.D. From USC in paleontology and has been first author and published in Nature. An kid from Kenyon works at the Getty museum. A studio art major is the PR head at a museum. An engineer is just graduating med school.
This data may be interesting and clear some things up.
