The Wall Street Journal has a chart of Salary Increase by Major that lets you see how majors do over time. The good news is that humanities majors do well - a message often heard in our public and digital history classes where we emphasize that the best skill for the modern economy is the ability to adapt and learn. That's the point in emphasizing game design, gamificiation, design and information architecture this semester in public history. Of course, we're also doing the Civil War. Next semester will see much of the same but adding in more digital tools such as GIS and web design.
The history major stats over time from the WSJ. The first column is starting medium salary. The second is mid career medium salary 10 years out followed by percent increase.
