So... When do Humanities Majors Make Money?

Are humanities degrees useless? Or are they the golden ticket to an interesting and successful career?

Well that highly depends on who YOU are as a liberal arts graduate! Whether you're applying to college or an upcoming graduate in the Humanities, this is what I've learned about Humanities majors as a job market expert.

This is an empressively well done video for a small channel. Congratulations, I've liked and suscribed.

Now onto the video itself.

Yes, og my god yes. This is the thing I've been constantly telling everyone for years. Humanities careers are, in my experience, even more competitive than STEM or law if you really want to 'succeed'. The job market is inundated by hundreds of thousands of graduates all vying for position which are both very limited, and more often than not already filled up.

Literature, history, philosophy, Arts, all of them require you to be the top of the top to achieve what you want. Young people decide to focus on these careers just because they 'like' literature. Most dont understand the high levels of self-discipline and drive you need to truly be someone in them.

I wholeheartedly support anyone who studies what they love regardless of difficulties. I just wish they gave themselves time to really learn about themselves before throwing thousands of dollars on a bet they aren't completely willing to follow through to the end.
