For many students going into college the focus is on finding a career or job with stability. However, in our quickly changing world nothing is for certain. Whole sectors have appeared and others disappeared as our country has changed from production to service oriented jobs. The problem for young students though is finding the next exploding job market. This could be in a variety of areas and knowing which one is primed to go off is crucial. However, for these students college is simply a training ground. What i mean by this is that students simply learn methods and then parrot them. They are taught procedure and process but not necessarily how to think. This is where a humanities degree can come into play. Unlike a degree where you are taught specifics for a certain job type in humanities you are taught to think. Students enrolled in the humanities learn to think outside the box. These students are also taught to read for context and to make educated hypothesis based off this reading. In the humanities the focus is on reading, writing and thinking. While you may not become well versed in a singular area you are much more rounded. A degree in the humanities is one that can be applied anywhere at anytime. There are no restrictions on what you can do. Many humanities majors could with the proper preparation go into any graduate program they choose minus specific sciences and such. The point here is that maybe it is time for a switch in preparing the next generation. While we will always need people trained specifically for certain jobs there still lies the promise of what learning through the humanities could do for our students.
