answers1: Worse then mediocre. Ask yourself, who would hire an
"anything studies" graduate. There are perhaps 10 positions in
academia for a Russian Studies graduate in the USA and those all
require a PhD. There is one that comes open perhaps every 2 or 3
years. The CIA may have need for 20 to maybe 50 more. <br>

You have to look at who hires the graduates and how many people are
getting the degree. There is a reason why there are few GA positions
in the humanities in grad school while in the sciences there are few
grad students without one.
answers2: More students study these subjects than are needed to fill
the available jobs. If you get a Ph.D. in Russian studies, expect to
be unemployed or underemployed for your whole life.
answers3: Very few jobs in those fields require a PhD. Most people
going for a PhD want to be a college professor. However, to maintain
a steady state of professors, each professor would only ever have one
PhD student - the one who will replace him when he retires. But many
professors graduate 10-30 PhD students, which means now we have far
more people who want to teach college than there are jobs for them.
There might only be a few positions open in Russian studies in the
whole country the year you graduate - and you're competing against far
more than just the student graduating this year, but also all those in
the last few years who didn't get jobs.
answers4: Humanities is like literature and philosophy, etc. Social
sciences contain issues like antropology, psychology, sociology, and
economics - particularly, the failings that concentration on how human
beings work together.
