So, life of a humanities major like my wife. Actually, most majors that weren’t STEM.

If it helps anyone in this situation, you can try to bank on other skills. My wife is doing great now but got her start because of her bilingualism, and even that was only 35k a year. My sister did a little better with her music degree by pivoting to community manager, although in her case she had experience modding for a well known streamer. That was pretty good money right out the gate.

Point is, programming isn’t your everything, even if you’re leveraging something from your personal life.
