The occupational distribution of humanities majors who went on to earn an advanced degree differs substantially from that of their counterparts with a terminal bachelor’s degree. Among those whose highest degree was a bachelor’s, over a third were employed in office, sales, and service jobs, as compared to only 13% of those with advanced degrees. In contrast, those who had gone on to earn an advanced degree (in any field) were likeliest to work in education occupations, with 28% holding such jobs (the bulk of them in precollegiate teaching), with another 12% employed in legal occupations. The share in management jobs, however, was similar between terminal bachelor’s and advanced degree holders, accounting for 15% and 12% of each group respectively.19
