Major In Something Useful, Like Philosophy
-
A small college in Delaware sent out an ad that made fun of potential music majors, recruiting band members with the question, "Heading off to college to major in music? Well, good luck with that. Want a college degree that leads to a real job?" People are highly agitated over this. Now, I support the arts and understand anyone who wants to take a creative major. But is it incorrect to say that music majors might have a more difficult time getting a job with that major? Yeah, they probably shouldn't have been jokey and dismissive, but the thought that certain majors have a less-than-stellar track record of employment does cross the mind of everyone who considers those majors. At least, their parents think that way. (WCAU-TV/Philadelphia)
