Technically still part of the humanities :)
I majored in math and history and my history adviser made it very clear to us how brutal the job market for history phd's was, although he did that in the context of how great the people they were hiring were (compared to the old guard). Basically there were so few tenure track positions open in the whole country that every open position would get world class applicants (or at least close).

- gowld 8y agoLaw School for a JD is a vocational/trade school.
- BurningFrog 8y agoYeah, it might fall under a "science", but that is Job Training, and a whole other thing.
- Steko 8y agoLaw, political science and history all fall in the sizable overlap between the humanities and social sciences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanities
