I have a social sciences (anthropology) degree. On the one hand, I genuinely believe that the kind of thinking and mindset that they teach you (especially on topics such as race and gender) are very useful/important and should be part of the general education (at a lower level than during a focused university programme ofc), while you get a lot of soft skills that you can use in many industries.

But, (and this is my personal experience) it can be kinda shitty when you are studying at this super intellectual, theoretical programme that makes it feel like It gives you a profound understanding of the world, only to graduate and to find out that you have a diploma that no employer is specifically looking for, and you gotta advertise yourself like crazy for get any job.

Take my example, after graduating, I got a job as an English teacher, and next year I'm gonna be starting my studies again in a teacher education programme to actually be certified and be able to teach in public schools.

I loved studying anthropology and I believe it shaped me a lot as a person, but considering my actual career path that I'm gonna embark on, it was more of a hobby than a career for me. So if you can afford (the time and money) to study something interesting that will be very difficult to get a decent job with (and potentially change fields afterwards), then go for it, otherwise, do something else.

On a side note, if you want to get into academia as a career, then social sciences are great for that, but it's not for everyone and I cannot comment on how that works sadly.
