The one egyptologist I met became a tech manager.

Having said that, the idea that egyptology and similar areas of study are only relevant to the handful of people who intend to pursue academic careers is a very neoliberal framing, and ignores the value of the liberal arts in helping to produce a cultured, educated populace, regardless of whether they will ever generate economic value by examining pyramids or burial goods.

yeah. i bounced between 7 different majors before deciding on one and realizing i needed a master's in it anyways so i just graduated with #7 because it was fastest. the only thing i would do differently is choose a different undergrad college (mine sucked. they still suck, but that's less relevant)
