At least english majors don't have a profit motive!

Sure, at the undergrad level it's mostly vocational, but it's not like there's no public benefit to full-fledged academic research in this area. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that his work will probably have a greater positive net effect on society than mine will. But since math is a "real science", I make the "big bucks" (relative to graduate students, i.e., two steps above ramen-profitable).
