A link from [livejournal.com profile] greythistle on feminism, housework, and choices that aren't makes me wonder about the liberal arts & ambition-- there's no particular reason why an English or sociology degree should doom you to life as a secretary, but so many of my non-math friends seem to feel stuck between temping and grad school . . .

I assume he's not typical, but the sales professional in my department, who does quite a good job too, not only has a BA in classics, but also has a PhD! I'm not actually sure what our marketing director majored in, though.

And the only bank president I know has a PhD in philosophy. So I guess there are at least some unconventional job paths out there.
