Majoring in English lit, philosophy, history, foreign languages? Welcome to what society would call the "Loser's Club. A recent CNN article shows liberal arts majors falling further and further on the 'dollar divide.' And that, not the 'digital divide' is what counts in life in America. Look around your livejournal blog--with its advertising and marketing schemes thinking of ways to separate you from your dollar? News for 2007 is that liberal arts majors have shown a decline in salary for entry level jobs while engineer positions and other tech-oriented fields have gone up. The numbers fall like this: liberal arts majors: $31,000 starting salary; mechanical engineers are getting around $57,500. If such subjects are of concern to you try looking at the award winning blog InTheText.Com for daily updates on the liberal arts life. |
