Humanities are academic fields that focus on societal and cultural elements of people. It is typically the area of study that is distinct from the physical sciences (physics, chemistry, life science), formal sciences (mathematics, computer science), social sciences, and applied sciences.
In general, you can use your knowledge to help users and coworkers, build a strong network (community), and do other things. As a doctoral student, you can learn and figure out a solution in an area related to the humanities. As a faculty member, you can plan and do your own research, as well as teach students and help doctoral students. In academia, these are the main things that people who study the humanities do.
