I was hoping she'd study engineering or math, but she's elected to major in history. On reflection it makes sense.

Only if you plan on either supporting her or marrying her off after graduation. It won't take much searching to see how you are throwing your money away or, even worse, letting her graduate deeply in debt with no prospects for a job. Sorry to burst your bubble on what should be a happy day.

Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation and plans, tsomer. I wish you both best of luck.

Oshkalaboomboom ... one can hardly get to post 5 on anything even remotely education related on these threads without reading a post like yours.

Just FYI, one of my own daughter’s undergrad majors was history. Not yet 30, she’s making a nice 6-digit salary in a prestigious job, and has NO college debt, undergrad or grad ... all merit scholarships/fellowships at top ranked universities, thank you very much.

If someone is smart, ambitious and well focused, s/he can have a very successful career regardless of how others might perceive their ‘worthless’ majors.

I’m with tsomer......send her to community college for a history degree, don’t spend $40K/year for history!!!!!Also, don’t take out any student loans, she will never have the income to pay them back.
