Sorry, to disagree. I am aware what employers require. I'm now retired living in Europe. I do still own a 20% interest in a manufacturing plant in China. However, I once directly employed close to 2,000 direct employees, along with over 800 subcontractors, in several manufacturing, and land development sectors.. I did a lot of interviews over a 40 year period.

PHD degrees in theoretical majors like sociology/ psychology, economics, or humanities majors to name a few,  are not of much use really.  Take history. I minored in history, and love the subject. But what can you do with a PHD in history other than teach history ? There are many other majors that universities have created to boost their bottom line. However, the student finds out very quickly they can't find a job in their major when they graduate. Now they are stuck with a student loan they can't repay.
