(413 posts)"While there's strong demand in science, education and health fields, arts and humanities flounder". I would think that a potential student would consider the facts and stats before making the choice of a major. Both of my daughters earned degrees in the medical arena (Occupational and Respiratory Therapists) and got immediate jobs after commencement. Full time with benefits. But, they both started out with other ambitions; interior design and business respectively, until they realized the potential limitations and changed their majors. I'm not saying that working in the medical field is for everyone, but a student must go into their educational endeavors with eyes open to where the jobs are. There are other areas with a demand. Creative writing is cool... but, if all it gets you is a job as a barista, well... enough said.
