re: why do people major in the humanities?

there is nothing wrong in majoring in humanities, but there is no reason to go occupy wall st. when you cant find a job with your humanities skin.

I agree with all of this. I don't really care what you major in, as long as you aren't crying that you can't get a job with your English degree. It's also annoying that people are loaned a substantial amount of money, while pursuing a degree that will likely not land them a decent job. It's akin to giving a 300k mortgage to a Starbucks employee.
