When your degree is in sociology, women’s studies or gender studies, it’s that, or a job that involves explaining the customer’s latte options...
Here’s my question when I see kid’d working on or with those degrees, “Did their parents have a say in the degree program? They’re likely the ones paying for it !’.
I know many parents of my generation went through the Depression and were of the mind set that any college degree meant a ticket at least into the middle class. That clearly changed (If it ever was true!) say by the 1970s certanly by the 1980s. I told my kids “NO HOBBY DEGREES!”. If they insisted then they had to double major a “hobby degree” plus a employable degree. I was a “bad guy” for awhile for being so rigid to my wife both sets of grandparents. However I was proved correct all ended up with STEM degrees (Note I didn’t insist on STEM degrees, just an “employable” degree - business, etc. !) plus “hobby degrees” - classics & music. All now married and productive. I only did “I told ya so !” to the “naysayers” at family gatherings for only a few years afterward.
