Okay, Moms and Dads, has your about-to-be college freshman (freshperson?) made any rumblings about any of these majors? If so . . . hmmm.
Comparitive Studies in Race & Ethnicity (Stanford)
Medieval and Renaissance Studies (Vassar)
Victorian Studies (Vassar)
Celtic Languages and Literature (Harvard)
Classical Civilization (Duke or Kenyon)
“Romance Linguistics and Literature” (UCLA)
Southwest Folk Art (Northern New Mexico College)
History of Consciousness (UC Santa Cruz)
Folklore (UC Berkeley)
Peace and Conflict Studies (UC Berkeley)
Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies (University of Richmond)
Socio-Cultural Studies (Wesleyan)
Agrarian Studies (Yale)
I'd like to see a study on what the graduates from these majors are doing these days. I think we would be surprised.
Anyone out there hold any of these degrees? If so, what line of work are you in now?
