A study released Wednesday by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, shows that job prospects for recent college grads vary by major. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, the study, called “Hard Times, College Majors, Unemployment, and Earnings: Not All College Degrees Are Created Equal,â€￾ architecture majors face the highest unemployment (13.9%) of all 22- to 26-year-olds with all bachelor’s degrees. Other majors with high unemployment include the arts (11.1%) and humanities and liberal arts (9.4%), while health-care, science and business majors have relatively low unemployment rates. Overall, though, college graduates continue to have a much lower unemployment rate (8.9%) than those without a college degree (22.9%). Read more from the Chronicle here.
 
Interesting..

I will say this, if you want to major in the humanities, you need to go to a good liberal arts, selective institution where a network exists.. Going to Colorado Tech to major in classical music is a waste of time... Quite frankly, the Colorado Tech's (made up) of the world shouldn't have a humanities program.
