Reminds me of Jay Leno's line, "The unemployment figures are down to record lows...why today even a history major got a job".
Actually I worked in the Archaeology/History field for over a decade. Good people who apply themselves are always employed and they can make decent money too.
Not so fast. Went to UGA on the six-year plan, majored in history and quarter beer. Now I own my own business, with 70-plus employees. REAL liberal arts degrees will teach you plenty about human nature, how to search out facts, and how to apply them with both eyes open. Most importantly, you learn a skill often attributed to engineers and such - how to take 10% of the pieces to a puzzle, and reconstruct the whole picture. The plain truth is that our colleges and universities are overpopulated by 50%. Rampant PC and egalitarianism have conspired to ensure that EVERY parent in the nation is convinced that their baby is college material. No one is willing to let these poor souls in on the fact that they are cognitively somewhere between painfully ordinary and first cousin to a cherry-stone clam. Consequently, the little doofuses are consigned to a lifetime of frustration, cluelessness, and voting Democrat.
When in high school, I worked fast food (Captain D's) during the summer. One evening while talking to the night manager, he told he had earned a history degree. That was an educational moment for me: The adage about all degrees not being equal really sunk in right then and there.
