Arts Major here.
An Arts major is great for your personal growth because it's broader and more generalist than STEM but it doesn't add much value to society on short term. Once it doesn't add direct value to society, society doesn't reward it also. This translates into an high probability of a stagnated life after graduation. Choose carefully.
- orionblastar 10y agoPick your degree and major carefully. I wanted a degree in physics but it doesn't pay as much as a programming job would. So I took computer science instead. Teacher/Education degrees are good to get because of a teacher shortage but don't get paid as well as most other jobs. When I went to a university it was 1986, I learned Turbo Pascal which is nothing compared to modern IDEs now. I learned Turbo C in 1987 and that helped me learn Ada, COBOL, FORTRAN, Visual BASIC, and many others. Once you understand the concepts you can learn almost any other language.
