This is such nonsense! You can do almost anything you want with an Art History or Medieval European History degree. Do you think there's some kind of requirement that you can only take a job in the field you studied? I have friends who did degrees in Theology who went into banking and insurance and make several times what I do with my Computer Science degree.

With today's college prices, it's a bit silly to play chicken with your financial life vs. the job market

It'd stand to reason that you could make that much, if not more, than your friends because you have a technical degree. I know this is more about having a job than not, but the technical degree would also improve your chances vs. your friends

Yeah that's my point. The jobs those chose were open to (very talented people) who studied any degree - Computer Science, Theology, whatever. There are thousands of well-paying and very well-paying jobs that are similarly open to any degrees.
