I get it, I just disagree. There are ways to say it that define the transition and don't devastate.

When you say "majors", are you referring to the people who study Films in university? Again, I do not have a low opinion of those people. Pulled from

"What Is the Estimated Salary for Film Studies Graduates?

Due to the large variation of career paths, students graduating with a film studies degree earn varying salaries. Leading directors, scriptwriters, actors and industry professionals often earn millions of dollars each year.

However, the majority of film studies graduates earn considerably less. The average film director earns approximately $35 per hour. The average film critic earns between $40,000 and $60,000 annually."

So, IF you become a film director (obviously, there are a huge number of these people), you make $70K. If you become a film critic (obviously there are a HUGE number of positions open here), you get to make 17% to 45% less than the average salary of all college graduates (which appears to be $72,000).

Still standing by my statement that going and getting $100K in student loans for that degree is completely bone-headed. Still sticking with giving those $100K of loans to baby daddy is morally bankrupt.

Russian History can be applied in a huge number of financial and political professional paths. It is far more relevant. Incidentally, do you use the "Russian History" part of your degree in your current occupation? I'm not picking a fight, I'm just curious.
