re: What was your major in college?

Schools churn out many more PhDs than the job market can bear, especially in the liberal arts. Hope you aren't having to borrow money to get those degrees.

During the Recession, I was in the process of applying to graduate schools to pursue a PhD in history, with a pretty specialized subject field. I loved it, was good at it, and had professors who agreed. But I had one professor in particular who point-blank told me not to do it. Said that I'd never pay my loans back.

Best advice I ever received.
