^^@CrewDad, my kids are majoring in medieval studies and East Asian studies. I’m the last one to disparage the humanities. If you read any of my posts on these boards, you’ll see that if anything, I’m more likely to criticize the pursuit of STEM at all costs.
But it is true that I think English is more practical than philosophy as a major if only because less imaginative employers are more likely understand the value of the former. Still, if my kids switched to philosophy, I wouldn’t bat an eye.
