#1 Art History ranks #9!!! Must be the major of choice for sorority girls shopping for hotshot pre-meds.

#2 One wonders how many have *no* majors or no earned degrees....

#3 I'm guessing Nepotism is the #1 REAL qualification.

#4 Art history majors who make the cut either have family money or are connected, I'd bet. What do Christies appraisers earn?

Separately, how many of the top 1% have no degree at all? Does one need a degree to become a commodities trader in Chicago or a floor trader on Wall Street?

#5 Micheal Dell had no degree when he started his business. Built his first computer in UT's college dorm before he dropped out.

#7 I know someone with a degree in Art History.

He went on to Law School.

After passing the bar, he went on to be a high school teacher, and now he's a principal at a school in NYC.

#8 I had two quarters of Art History in college. I could see there was no future in it as a major.

#9 Unless you're intending to work in as auction house, or a museum, Art History is an elective, not a major.
