This question is often asked, particularly about degrees that fall under the humanities. English, history and language are subjects that come with the curiosity of what career path the degree can lead to. Many current issues require the ability to problem-solve, think critically and analyze the past. Consider questions such as: Why is it important to establish protections for student athletes? What are different ways to decrease environmental impact and improve working conditions in the fashion industry? How will scientists ethically research planets within and outside our solar system? In honor of Humanities Week at ASU, we explore how all of these questions can find answers in the humanities.
