And yet- every year, kids with degrees in Classics get jobs at ad agencies; kids with degrees in political science get jobs as management consultants; kids with degrees in English get jobs in insurance companies, and I won’t bore you by going through the litany of “unemployable” degrees which turn out to be not so unemployable.
I hear a regular rant from the parents of the kid who went to a “specialized” program in Sports Management who discover that companies hire kids with degrees in Sports Management AND kids who majored in Spanish. And from the parents of the kid who has a degree in News Production who can’t get a foot in the door at CNN while the young woman across the street studied history and had TWO offers- one from CNN and another from one of the big 3 networks. And no, not a nepo baby.
