@Junto you're incorrect. with a degree in creative writing, I was working in politics alongside business/econ/polysci majors, some of whom with JD's as well, for the same amount of money. one of my peers is now a broker for JP Morgan in NYC, same degree. We are not some crazy exceptions.

very few careers care THAT MUCH about your undergrad degree. Plus, as any business major should know, the "money making" degrees are crazy over saturated, and mean much much less than people like to think.

You are more than your degree area, and employers know that.

edit: also, LOTS of english degree holders wind up doing well in law school, for obvious reasons. legal work will always be among the most in-demand and financially lucrative.
