Colleges oversell these programs and graduates end up disappointed. I got an industrial engineering degree in 1988 and the college had all kinds of rosy predictions about how easy it would be to get a job and how much it would pay. No one that I graduated with found a job paying what the school said we would make. I’m not sure if the graduates of the philosophy courses and the women’s study programs had the same problem, though.
A couple of millennials that worked for my wife in her optical shop got six figure jobs fresh out of UNT in marketing, so I know it does happen.
