History major? Hah.
He should have majored in Philosophy.

The economy is great and there is full employment. You should have tried to get a job after Vietnam when someone like john kerry called you a baby killer and a war criminal. Lots of people had to do what ever they could not just what you want to do.

“1) There are no well-paying let alone paying jobs for history majors.”
It would help if you could construct a logically coherent sentence. Hint- reverse paying and well-paying.

Wow! What an incredibly arrogant narcissist. Amazing.
Imagine believing that a liberal arts degree in history would make one ready to make huge benefits in other people’s lives. It’ all so unfair! LOL!

Might have been a good idea for him to apprentice as an electrician or a plumber. Obviously there isn’t a big job market out there for BA History majors.

hahah, get the waaaammmmbulance. This kid bought all the lies — ‘Major in anything, it doesn’t matter. Don’t sell YOUR soul and actually get a 9-5 job — (let your dad do that). Go to a pricey school. A career will be the fulfillment of all your dreams.’
The nature of life is -— WORK. There, you’ve got it.

Upon graduating, I was helplessly launched headfirst into the real world, equipped with a degree in historyHelplessly launched?
"Equipped" with a degree in HISTORY???
I don't even know where to begin. But I do know that little Kenny will soon be saying, "Would you like to supersize that".

Upon a second reading of the article I caught this little gem...."To seek a haven devoid of the ruthless 9-to-5 ebb and flow of contemporary America"....
It's official. He's a loser throwback to the 60s.

I wouldn’t hire him. He has horrible judgement, going 5 figures in debt for a History degree? LOL! History is a great subject and can enrich your life enormously, but not with money.....bwhahahahahahahaha!
Now he’s living at the mom and dad Holiday Inn....maybe they will give him points....:)

Before ricocheting back home, I would learn two important lessons: 1) There are no well-paying let alone paying jobs for history majors. I won't say "Duh!" because I don't know the market. I took a similar gamble (presuming the world will always need new engineers, even if it didn't when I got my BSEE, though it certainly did later for an MSEE/CS) -- and won. But if they weren't looking then I might have gone for Piled Highest and Deepest.
And maybe wound up flipping burgers.
There are no guarantees.
