What I said was quite relevant. What percentage of humanities majors are working in the field they were educated in?

What percentage of STEM majors are working in the field they were educated in? I know two electrical engineering majors who became lawyers, one who went into insurance, in addition to a civil engineer who went into dentistry.

All of the ones I work with. All the ones I went to school with that I know what happened to.
At the risk of you refusing to answer yet another direct question to soapbox about irrelevant anecdata: why do you think your major matters?
