awwww yeeeaaah! finally! an article that pertains to me! i graduated 3 years ago with a degree in art history... 3 months after college, i was a cashier at Jo Ann Fabrics. Today, I sit as a secretary in a totally unrelated field, just trying to pay off my student loans. What a WASTE of time! and what a pretentious major. There's no room for conservatives in the art world, what can I say?

i graduated 3 years ago with a degree in art history

How come people do that? I'm serious... I do people do that? Because they have a real love of 'art(s)'? or 'history'? or 'Russian Studies'?

I can see some music degrees--if one just loves an instrument and will be happy making a pitiful living if they love the music.

I broke my ass for a BSEE and am now a Software Systems Engineer working for the Air Force. I love it and it pays...

I can still remember trudging off to spend the next 18-24 hours in the computer lab turning green under the fluorescent lights with my head spinning from the BO of all the stinky Arab, Indian, and Chinese students while the Lib Arts majors and Business Majors were all out drinking beer and playing sand volleyball with the 'hotties'.

Yeah, it was hell, but I like my job now--10 years later and I have plenty of time and money to drink beer play sand volleyball with a new round of 'hotties'.

I always wondered what eventually happened to those people..

I got news for you - there is very little room for ANYONE in the art world - it only works for the big dealers.

Fine, but...my bachelor's is in math, and my master's is in CS. That didn't keep me from being laid off. If people want vocational schools, they know where to find them; universities shouldn't be vocational schools.

Just don't discuss politics with potential emloyers and co-workers. :(
