Are humanities degrees all memes? I've always wanted to major in Romanian & English for personal enrichment but I'm scared of wasting my life studying something nobody else cares about.
If it interests you, you're not wasting your time. Just don't expect to get a good job out of it. If you can't financially afford that, there are plenty of ways for you to fulfill that interest outside of university/college.

Why do other people matter? If it matters to you, it's important.
>study arty-farty shit
>join finance/law/accounting/whatever society and become very active member, become president or secretary or treasurer
>use this to get internship at a real job and then you can apply for real jobs
this is an option open to you as long as you go to a good university
It doesn't even need to be a careers society. you could be organising your university's summer party or something. anything where there is a lot of responsibility and organising, or where you can make it seem that way.
although showing interest in accounting or whatever does help if you're applying for an internship in that field

Language skills can be pretty useful. Oh and please just stop randomly using "meme" in sentences, it's getting out of control now, even in the slang way we use meme here "Are humanities degrees all memes" doesn't really make sense.

It's best to pair language study with something useful. Unless you want to be a translator or something (which is hard as fuck). OP could try and be a diplomat, but you aren't guaranteed to be stationed anywhere you want.

If you're going to college for better job prospects, it's pretty much a waste of time.
