As a college professor, I will readily admit that universities are doing kids no favors by encouraging/allowing them to bury themselves in debt majoring in BS degrees that won't get them a job capable of paying it back. Granted, I'm speaking from the STEM perspective, which certainly has issues worth addressing, but IMO, a lot of the ire can be directed to the Humanities...

The purpose of college should be attaining skills and training that help you become gainfully employed...there are way too many degree programs that don't even try to do that. I'm all for "the arts" and taking electives to broaden your horizons (I was an 8 year member of the FMB, after all), but if "using your art degree" is working as a cashier at Michael's, you probably should've thought about that before...
