Journalism and the humanities can pay extremely well for insiders.

The humanities - especially law and some corners of academia - also have far more direct political leverage than tech does.

As a (former) lawyer, I wouldn’t clump together law and humanities for this purpose. Many law students and lawyers didn’t major in humanities subjects, and the earning power of lawyers is far greater than academics in the humanities.
