Most underemployed majors according to the U.S. Census American Community Survey

One of the most common things to happen on DegreeForum is that someone chooses a bachelor's major like liberal studies instead of a major like computer science, in whole or in part to reduce time to completion.

In the worst case scenario, you'll have to re-do your bachelor in CS to get a job.

At my previous company, they fired nearly everyone who doesn't hold a CS degree. That includes me.

I'm really sorry to hear that. That's just lame and frustrating.

Well, I see that the degrees that I'm going for are all on that list (communications, English, marketing) but the smaller skills that I have are not listed on there (front end web dev., graphic design, and excel/data) so it looks like it might be in the interest of people pursing the liberal arts (like myself) to widen their skills.

I know people talk about becoming an expert and yes, that's valuable, but if it's going to take a bit before you get there, having a wide range of skills seems to help.
