Low Income Students and Majors

I’m interested in and fairly good at many disciplines, some of which are “useful,” such as biology and applied mathematics, but most of which (and the most prominent of which) are in the humanities

</p>

<p>Last time I checked, students in social science majors like anthropology earned more after graduation than biology majors ;). </p>

<p>Anyway, there’s not much I can add to the discussion other than to let you know that I was in the exact situation thinking about the exact same things a few months ago. But it’s not like Harvard actually gives us many choices of “useful/practical” concentrations, does it? So I thought I might as well just pick a concentration that has the courses I want to take, and see how things go from there.</p>
