There’s a lot of foot-in-the-door corporate positions they just look for a BA of any kind. I’m an Underwriter and the trainees we hire come from every possible BA background you can think of. You’re a step ahead if you have a business/finance/medical degree, but we assume you know nothing and train you every step of the way regardless of background.
I agree with BBQToadRibs. A rigorous study in any of the traditional humanities is a key indicator of a successful employee. The important words being “rigorous” and “traditional.”
There is simply no reason on earth a 4-year degree in a traditional humanities subject should cost $50,000 or more. What do you actually need to teach 20 students in a class, but books and a professor? Because it does cost so much, students look for degrees that offer reasonable paybacks rather than a reasonable education. Thank you University-Government complex and “free money” for student loans! s/
