I have used my Russian History degree exactly once in my 15 year career, and it was on such a crazy deal that I feel confident that it will never repeat itself.
That said, film studies majors do more than act or direct:
Film, Cinema and Video Major - Info, Careers, and Jobs
Since they're quoting the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I feel pretty confident in these numbers. You're assuming that she wouldn't make a living wage with this degree, which seems baseless to me.
Snowy, you "put off the inevitable" because it's the right thing to do. This is a woman who's suffered about a big a loss as one can have. Adding to it RIGHT NOW is simply being cruel. No one's asking him to stay with her - far from it. I'm just saying that the decent thing to do is to not add to her immediate misery. Think about it this way - if one of your unmarried friends got pregnant and then miscarried and then her boyfriend broke up with her within a couple of weeks, what would your opinion of the guy be? Honestly, if we reversed the roles and pretended that Soma's girlfriend was telling us the story, I think you'd have a very different reaction and advice.
