I mean... if OP has a degree in a social science, s/he has okay chances. Not like getting a degree in straight-up math or biology would be any better.

Edit: apparently math was a bad example. How about... kinesiology then...? lol

My wife has a BS in kinesiology with an emphasis on sports science. She is now a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Some degrees are nothing more than feeder degrees. Kinesiology is either a feeder degree or one you use to become a Personal Trainer.

It's actually quite rare for a math major to not have a job lined up in their junior year.

I strongly disagree with you here. Getting something STEM related is the right choice for a degree and can open plenty of doors with high paying salaries (you know, if that’s your end goal and all).

Master of Arts? A great way to master the art of making a sandwich as a career (you know, if that’s your end goal and all).

Not true. A sociology, public administration, poli-sci or criminology degree - especially on the masters level - opens plenty of doors. E.g. it's the main pathway for policy and research jobs in government, non-profits, or in the private sector.

Both valid arguments but a missing fact is that the world just needs far more stem graduates than art graduates and thus more of the latter struggle starting of their carreer
