Ahh, but it sort of depends on the job being sought, eh? An "art
major"
might be just the degree sought by employers at ad agencies, museums,
magazines, music companies, et cetera.

Here's a good list. Note that of the top paid careers, the words
Engineering or Science is in every one of the job titles. Notice the
abundance of the word "arts" in the lowest paid group!

Lists like that are interesting but somewhat meaningless. The really
big bucks are being made by doctors, lawyers, bankers, investment
managers, business owners/executives, real estate developers, etc.

The people who make obscene amounts of money dropped out of college.

Those who shaped Western Civilization and thought were not, for the most
part, wealthy. Many of them, in fact, were paupers, but they gave us a
lot more than stories of their wealth. It's sad but telling that so many
of you righties only value the ability to earn large sums of money. Any
decent classroom teacher/nurse/social worker/fireman is more valuable to
society than *any* of you.

I notice you left out jingle writers. Good on you. ;-)

You do, however subscribe to the notion that "He who dies with the most
toys wins". Want to brag on that boat of yours? Or have you learned your
lesson? :-)

It's funny how they always talk about teachers, police, firefighters and
the children "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN"!!! When in reality, most towns
around here took all the porkulus money and spent it on unnecessary
projects that outerwise wouldn't have been funded... and didn't need to be.

Gee around these parts, new fire stations were built, new equipment
bought, sidewalks put in, and on and on.
