I think it depends on the student.

My oldest is finishing a joint Law/MPP program. She just got a very nice offer from a big firm for govt relations. She also has an offer from the legislature.

My second is starting law school and I have no doubt he will have pretty good offers when he gets out.

Both humanities majors.

My youngest is an undergrad finance major. He shouldn’t have any trouble either.

I think we tend to overgeneralize.

- But both of your kids with humanities degrees WoodstockIrish 1:23pm · 9/9/19
- Each of your kids got training in a discipline that is marketable (Law, Law and Finance). NedoftheHill 12:42pm · 9/8/19
  - The first would be quite marketable with just the MPP. She got both degrees in a 2 for 1 package. Frank L 1:17pm · 9/8/19
    - Both of your humanities majors when to graduate school to get training for their field of employment NedoftheHill 11:04am · 9/9/19
      - That is true. But so do many STEM majors to fulfill their plan. Frank L 2:34pm · 9/9/19

        I don’t think we are either. The left and center aren’t going far whether they go to undergrad or Frank L 4:29pm · 9/9/19
