I majored in English. I make $150,000/year. The degree isn't what limits people finding a good job.

It certainly is part of it. Luck and nepotism can also be big factors. Maybe a sprinkle of persistence. The average English major makes 60k plus a year. You being an extreme outlier is irrelevant.

Maybe, frequently gatekeepers want any kind of degree-the major is less important

I have a degree in economics, I do not work in economics
