12. Sociology
Sociology seems like a quintessential “easy” liberal arts major. You won’t be bogged down with advanced calculus or chemistry. The focus is more on understanding human behavior, social issues, research methods, and theories. While not exactly a walk in the park, it’s certainly less technical than majors like computer science.
What sociology lacks in rigor, it makes up for in versatility. This broad background prepares grads for all sorts of roles in fields like marketing, HR, social services, data analysis, and beyond. Those with drive can work their way up to leadership positions.
Top sociologists even earn six-figure salaries doing things like market research, policy analysis, or running non-profits. Sure, it’s not engineering. But leverage your skills right, and a “soft” sociology degree can surprisingly translate to some impressive earnings.
