Instiz: Employment rates of university majors

- Let me cry as a law major

- Don't choose your major based on the employment rate, you'll regret it

- Should've majored in natural sciences...

- My major isn't ocean engineering but it's ocean studies! We have diving classes in our school pool and we also have school trips to Jeju-island and East Sea. It's really nice!

- Don't major in fashion design. I graduated and my current job has nothing to do with my major.
