And besides, whatever you want to say about the starting pay of American Studies majors, they still made an average of $45k of starting salary in 2010, a whopping figure compared to the average liberal arts graduate from the average school in the nation who made only $33k in 2010.

<p>That’s of those who managed to be employed, which was only 17% for in the 2010 survey (versus 33% still seeking employment – this is a rather poor success rate even in the realm of social studies majors). If you count the still seeking as earning $0, then the average pay is only $15k for those not in graduate school or “other”.</p>

<p>If you had to do it all over again, would you have majored in American Studies?</p>
