Things Humanities Majors Are Tired Of Hearing

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.
As a humanities major, there are some things that I am SO. TIRED. OF. HEARING.
 
1. If I had a a dollar for every elitist stem major that looked down at the humanities, I’d be able to pay my tuition in cash. 

2. “Oh, you’re in the humanities? Your life must be so easy. You have, like, no work to do!”

3. (From relatives) “Why don’t you switch to a field you’ll actually make money in?”
