Could you be more clear then, the GP comment is already causing enough confusion.

  The comment states pretty clearly that fresh PhDs looking for jobs in the humanities enjoy the advantage of "something" over the "nothing" that fresh BAs get. That isn't a difference of 10x -- it's much better. In the terms of your first comment, the suggestion is that fresh bachelors trying to work in humanities don't get jobs. MIT was not mentioned.

    People who major in humanities do get jobs. I know a ton of them--albeit mostly from good schools. And they're not in retail or whatever. There just isn't necessarily the clear career path that there is with, say, a CS degree and the entry salary is probably not nearly as good. A PhD in English lit or whatever basically only makes sense if you want to teach and that's not a great track these days.
