this is absolutely, unequivocally false. It drives me crazy when people say this. A major does not get you a job. She would have to get experiences in the form of summer internships. Even an engineering major or business major or physical therapy major with no experience will not get a job after graduation. But a history major who has had summer internships at big banks will get job offers.
Here are examples of possible jobs/career fields a history or philosophy major can have—and these are EXACTLY the types of jobs the friends of my recent graduate have gotten with liberal arts degrees:
Investment banking
Management consulting
E-Commerce business (e.g., Amazon)
Human Resources
Journalism
Advertising
Public Relations
Museum administration
Micro-Consulting (e.g., AlphaSights, GLG)
Digital project manager (e.g.,Facebook, Epic)
Corporate meeting planning
Corporate internal communications
Media programming (CBS, CNBC, etc.)
Wealth management
Marketing for multinational companies
In addition, she may be interested in going to graduate school in law, business, medicine, speech therapy, occupational therapy, dentistry, social work, psychology, or any of a zillion different professional degrees.
