>>I am not sure what you are getting at? Really? You appear to me to have an irrational love affair with the humanities as some wonder-drug for conservatism and anti-intellectualism that is rampant in the US. Maybe that is not your position. It isn't in my opinion and I suffered many economic delays due to irrelevant course work which largely served as welfare for academics in the humanities. Despite my experience. I let my kids choose their majors. Here is my scorecard. The psych major was definitely the worst choice. It qualified the graduate from a good school nothing more than could be attained with 2 years less effort - psych tech and even then with considerable work experience. Not a good job. I'd give it a C- to a D. Despite good grades - it doesn't qualify the bearer for anything. Not as bad as gender/ethnic studies or philosophy which I give F grades to. None of my kids did anything that dumb. Accounting was the best and most employable. My son is on the spectrum and was employed with this right out of school with some retail work experience. I'd give this a B+ to A-. The third child chose English. It was passable with enough work history. It showed one could write. Being from a good school it showed ability but my youngest now needs something else - MBA or finance because she lacks the math she needs in her job. I'd give this degree a B- or C+ because it is harder than most people think but not well rewarded or regarded.
