Work in IT field. The major did not help me get the job, but my graduate degree got my job just before this one and that was a big jump in salary and pay. But the job I have now did not require a degree, many IT jobs are that way.
I majored in journalism, and had a second major in anthropology-sociology.
Fresh out of college in 1960 with only fifty bucks in my pocket, I desperately needed a job. I applied at the NY Times for a job with the NYT News Service as a clerk/copy boy. I was hired, but both interviewers laughed at the journalism major and said it was worthless....better English or history.
The major that mattered to anyone was the anthropology-sociology, and it was certainly the one that gave me any background that proved useful in my early years of working.
BA in English. The fact that I had worked at a newspaper while in college landed me my first gig within a couple of weeks of graduation. Thirty years later, I do a lot of branding and business consulting for a number of clients across the country. Love what I do.
If the thrust of the question is how my major was useful, I'd say that a humanities major can be highly useful. Perhaps not in terms of immediately applicable skills, but more so in terms of collecting information, establishing a workable premise, and communicating. In that sense, an English degree proved to be much more valuable in the long term than a journalism degree would have been.
