Introducing "What Are You Going to Do with That?"

The National Humanities Alliance has created the podcast, "What Are You Going to Do with That?," a place that explores everyday folks’ decisions to study the humanities as undergraduates and their pathways to fulfilling careers.

The first season features a diverse group of young professionals with humanities backgrounds reflecting on how they’ve applied the knowledge and skills they gained in college. These stories debunk widespread misconceptions about humanities majors’ career prospects by highlighting some of the limitless possibilities for applying humanities knowledge and skills in today’s workforce. 

Each episode traces a unique pathway from a humanities major to careers in law, public health, finance, technology, museums, public relations, and high-end food production while emphasizing a broader theme that applies across humanities disciplines and industries.  View the Season 1 Trailer below or visit the main podcast page to view various episodes.
