Abstract
In this paper, I address the misconception that an Arts and Humanities degree is not applicable to the modern workforce. I will discuss how the degree sets up a graduate for a very large number of jobs that carry good wages and benefits. The Arts and Humanities student acquires skills in critical thinking, creative and innovative problem-solving, proficiency in oral and written communication, multi- and intercultural sensitivity, ethical training, and the ability to work collaboratively. Companies prefer employees with that skill set rather than those with specialized knowledge. The earnings gap between STEM graduates and Arts and Humanities graduates decreases over time, until by the age of 40, it disappears. Arts and Humanities graduates also move into lucrative careers in business, law, and politics and become entrepreneurs.
