Any of you humanities majors worried about job prospects after graduation?

<p>Well, I don’t really know yet, but I will explore my options soon, and I can see myself working in the business world in some niche position. Hopefully that will work out, lol.</p>

<p>This details the many reasons humanities graduates are attractive to employers in the business world and in other sectors. They typically have the best writing and analytical skills as well as communication skills among all majors. They also have lower unemployment rates than you’d expect because of these skills that they have and the degree to which they’ve developed them.</p>

<p>An interesting observation mentioned in the article that I linked to is that it’s getting more difficult to get a good-paying STEM job with a STEM degree straight out of college. I mention this because it’s relevant to this thread, one that asks a question that many who major in STEM ask their humanities counterparts. For example, many people with biology and chemistry degrees seem to be struggling to get good jobs in their fields. At least, that’s what I’ve observed in my amateur research online. I don’t want to be misconstrued as saying that majoring in STEM is a bad idea, as it is not, but the conventional wisdom that getting a degree in those fields is a guarantee for getting a good-paying job isn’t true anymore. In fact, some people have predicted that there’ll be too many people majoring in STEM pretty soon and it will be harder than ever to get a good job in those fields. </p>

<p>This has already begun to affect the fields of biology and chemistry, as I said before. In fact, according to Payscale.com, bio degree holders earn less in mid-career salaries than philosophy majors. PHILOSOPHY MAJORS! I suggest that you and everyone else look up this phenomenon. Quite a few articles have been written about it. Too be fair, though, there might not actually be a glut of STEM majors in the future. There may be, though.</p>
