> Well, as a STEM university graduate myself I admit being guilty of this thought and I think it's just something "hard science" thinks of "humanities" in general. Mostly due to mercantilism, most non-STEM studies have very poor job perspectives.

What does mercantilism have to do with that? The problem with the job perspectives of students of many non-STEM subject is rather that it is often not easy to find economic applications of the knowledge that is taught in the humanities courses (which is made even more complicated by the often "left", "woke" bias that many humanities faculties have).
