Where are the jobs for college grads who are not CS majors?

Pharmaceuticals if you did chemistry. And I'm sure EE people don't have a hard time finding work.

Or do you mean people who major in things like classics and French? I guess they can be...teachers. Of people who study classics and French and will be able to go on and become...teachers.

I think it's important for techies to get a little exposure to humanities during their undergrad degrees, but I don't really see the point of spending four years studying only humanities.

Or they could be translators. They could teach their native language to people whose native language is the one they've learned. They could end up as authors or writing the marketing copy to sell your software in France or on any number of non-self-referential career paths. There are useful places in this world for people who didn't major in applied sciences, too.
HR and teaching are traditional jobs for humanities graduates.
In sales mostly.
