I wonder what the correlation is between the price of a university degree and the percentage of humanities majors. I imagine it's much easier to justify an education in English Literature when it doesn't cost $70,000 or more.
At the same time, I know people who majored in English who ended up working as security guards and package sorters. There just aren't many jobs that require that skillset anymore, thanks to the internet. Not many editors, copywriters, or reviewers are necessary when there are millions of people willing to do it almost for free online. Digital publishing has made writing into a free for all. Almost all that is left is teaching which requires separate credentials and very low pay for long hours.
