History and Sociology degrees are great majors for graduate school. Tack on an MSW and in 4-5 years you can be making 60-80k (rural midwest numbers) a year in a work environment that doesn't require you to put in 80 hours a week.
There are very few majors that any kid can go into these days with a four-year degree that is worth as much as High School degree was 20 -30 years ago. All a Bachelor's degree gets you these days is a job as an assistant manager at the local fast food joint.
