What do people not know about your major?

<p>

I don’t get why people on CC think science majors are lucrative and guarantee jobs. How are most sci majors (physics, chem, bio, neuro, biochem, ecology, environmental sci, astronomy, etc) lucrative fields? As with liberal arts, you need a Grad degree for those fields. </p>

<p>Unless by “science” you meant just Engineering/Comp Sci. But that’s like pretending all arts majors get paid like Econ majors. Most people see sci as impractical unless it’s nursing, engineering, or there’s plans for dental, med, or pharm. They consider “practical” degrees to be business, finance, accounting, marketing, management, comp sci, CIS, architecture, engineering, nursing, education, tech-related, etc. They’re pre-professional and teach skills rather than just theory.</p>
