If you aren’t in a STEM program, a Business program or a program that requires further education like med or law school, chances are good your first job out of college is going to involve cleaning bathrooms for the homeless at a local Starbucks.
Liberal Arts programs are a waste of time and money. You want to study French lit? Pick up a book at the library and start reading. Want to be a social justice warrior? Get off your butt and move to Chicago.

My first job after graduating was as a locker room attendant at a community beach; I worked my way up to Lifeguard before the end of the Summer. It took years to get a position in the field of my college major.
Great advice. I just sent it to a grand kid, who will be a senior in an excellent private high school. He aces his stem course and barely gets B’s in the non stem courses. b
As a result and being a white middle class male, he will not be able to get into a UC system with B’s.
I have suggested that he spend two years at a local community college taking STEM courses and more Spanish courses. Then, join the Navy or Army for their crypto positions.
