Does studying Humanities create an insecure career path?
Over the years, fewer students have been opting for humanities. At one time, subjects in this stream were considered to be easier than those in science or commerce. Students who merely wanted to graduate with a Degree certificate in hand, without any clear career in mind, would opt for it. There were, of course, students keen to take up, say, History, so that they could take up teaching or research work. Now though, even this keenness has lessened.Why do you think students are not opting for subjects like history sociology or philosophy? Do they feel their future would be uncertain in terms of job opportunities? Does humanities as a group have no relevance today?
