graduated with a classics degree 3 years ago. loved every minute of studying it. ancient philosophy, latin literature, historical analysis, all that good stuff. felt like i was actually learning to THINK instead of just memorizing facts.
now i'm out here trying to find a job and every posting might as well say "STEM only, humanities majors need not apply."
sure i can analyze texts and write well and think critically about complex problems, but apparently those aren't "real skills" in the eyes of most employers. they want specific software knowledge or technical certifications or whatever.
starting to feel like i wasted 4 years and a lot of money learning about dead civilizations when i should have been learning python or accounting or something actually useful.
anyone else with a humanities background figure out how to translate their education into modern work? or should i just accept that i need to go back to school for something practical?
