I agree on the better guidance, but I don't think steering people away from these degrees is completely correct either. Anthropology, English, and Women's Studies can lead to tremendously rewarding careers (if not monetarily, at least professionally)...but! BUT! YOU WILL NEED AN ADVANCED DEGREE! Honestly, I think a lot of good would be accomplished by simply abolishing Bachelors degrees in subjects like these. You want to enter school to study anthropology? Great. Get ready to work your ass off for the next 8-12 years (and then struggle through the world of post-doc appointments and tenure track for the next 9-15 years after that). Oh, suddenly that doesn't sound so appealing? Well then, lets see what other major you might pick that will give you marketable skills after 4-5 years.
