A job coming out of a "material culture" major??

That's a good question, I'll grant you! But not being able to get a job in a certain field doesn't seem to stop students from majoring in it...like English, or anthropology, or history,or.....

But I think most career-minded undergraduates know they have to go on to grad school in order to do anything professionally. I imagine that if their grades and test scores are high, they can get into a number of graduate programs.

Where I live, a lot of college grads tend to hang around in town and start bands or work in coffee shops.

Do you want fries with that?

But, I can see that if a serious minded student planned on going to graduate school, this would be a good undergraduate major.

quite the reverse.

no seed, no pearl (of wisdom).

consider einstein, who was shitty in math.

he was out of the box before the "teachers" got to him.

and i'm not comparing m'self.
