And I’ll counter that with a point from the comment section of that article.
“I’m wondering if the study controlled for family background/wealth. Could it be that students with more cultural/financial capital (i.e. a safety net) are more likely to take a chance on the humanities, and then their career trajectories are influenced to some extent by their privileged backgrounds, interpersonal skills, connections etc…? So we could be talking about correlation here rather than causation. (As a humanist I hope not, but it seems like an important question to ask.)” -Carcambo
Contrary to popular misconception, children of rich parents don’t go into politics if they have no degree. These children are the hidden ones you hear little about.
Might I point out that by being close friends with 4 that´ll go into politics they will have a place there too because of the time honored tradition of nepotism? Or are done overinterpreting stuff for fun?^^
And that time may be sooner than we realize.
correct
Well of students do go more into the liberal arts, but in the long run, it turns out that less advantaged students in the liberal arts do fine, too.

It’s not accurate- liberal arts majors are employed as much as other majors are and earn much income:

They do have degrees, just really shitty low-effort ones.
You are no longer the future.
