They usually end up as receptionists or waiters. It makes no sense to invest family and/or federal money into these majors with such little return.

Critical thinking, human empathy, and the ability to see the bigger picture are important beyond the specific skills STEM teaches.

It often takes a little longer, but at peak earning ages, humanities majors are less unemployed and making more. Even more so if they possess a graduate degree.

Commercialization of universities threatens this purpose. Creating a well-rounded, prepared mind will only serve to strengthen innovation and value of students entering the global marketplace.

He states modern professors are too involved in pointing out racism or sexism within classic works, which exhausts and turns off a large portion of students, discouraging further exploration in the subjects.

Research provides shows median income is on par with STEM majors. Adds that humanities majors under 35 are less unemployed than their counterparts.

Technocrats and government leaders continue to show a flippant attitude toward the usefulness of the humanities.

Majors in visual and performing arts are especially lower.
