Besides, hard-science majors don't fare much better; an undergrad degree in Chemistry, Biology, or Physics qualifies you for a lab tech job, or teaching high school. Doing non-grunt science work takes an advanced degree. Engineering and Computer Science fare a lot better, in that an undergrad degree is a major help in getting a job and that advanced degrees aren't essential (and in CS, there's a definite bias against them), but it still took me three months to find a job after graduating with a CS degree at the tail end of the .com boom -- and that job sucked, the pay was way low for a newly-minted CS grad, and lasted less than a year.</blockquote>
