Bio majors- not great employment prospects. Chem with no grad school- not great employment prospects. Math majors with an eye towards getting teaching certification- only good in regions which have a chronic shortage of math teachers (i have a sibling who teaches math in part of the country without a shortage- so math teachers face the same ups and downs as every other elementary ed teachers).
Don’t you guys ever get out of your own heads?
Don’t you remember the tech crash of 2001 when thousands of CS employees got downsized and there was nowhere to go? Don’t you remember the aerospace crash in the mid 1990’s when tens of thousands of engineers lost their jobs and there was nowhere to go? Aren’t any of you living through the oil crash of 2015/2016 when the top energy companies have cut back their hiring of petroleum engineers (which these kids were all told was a rock solid major) to almost nothing?
