<p>Quote from HIMom:
“His major would not have helped her get a job, other than being a bachelor’s degree in an esoteric field.”</p>
<p>My daughter double-majored. When we looked at all the interesting courses she wanted to take in addition to her science major, we realized they could be bundled into a second humanities type major and she did so. At the small graduation ceremony for that esoteric major, a pamphlet was handed out listing all the graduates’ future plans - not one had a job lined up., although several were going on to graduate or med school. It was excruciating listening to the speakers extol the virtues of their major and their graduates, when so many of the graduates were sitting there wondering what to do next. D’s job came from her first major.</p>
