History Major here in his late 30's with a six figure income and two Porsches in the driveway.

Read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Millionaire Next Door"...anybody who is expecting to get "rich" from a job is better off playing the lottery IMO. Wealth comes from frugality and smart investing...or, to quote RDPD...

"A job is just a temporary solution to a permanent problem."

I believe most successful people will become wealthy regardless of the college degree choice and visa versa. If you are expecting your degree to make you wealthy, then you've already made a critically bad "choice".
