<p>As far as I’m concerned, you can major in anything and get a job when you graduate. I know someone who majored in history and got a job with a Wall Street investment bank; another who majored in political science and got a management job at a nonprofit; a third who majored in urban studies and got a job at an advertising agency; a fourth who majored in international studies and is at the UN. Those are just 4 examples. They had excellent resumes and did interesting things in the summer – and got their jobs without family connections. None of them had professional minors.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I know two engineering majors who are as lazy as can be, and have never had a job or internship or even a volunteer position in their lives. I can’t imagine what their resumes will look like, since all it can list is their degree, and they have no work-related references. I think they are both considering going straight to grad school after undergrad.</p>
<p>I think it’s wrong to say that the only people who can find full-time employment have some type of professional degree.</p>
