I think all potential students need to be shown, by the university and/or their parents, a comparison chart of what professions (majors) pay. One has to go to college with their eyes open and "know" what they are getting into. Also, whatever profession (major) is chosen, then be happy or content with what you make and do not be jealous or envious of others that have more than you do! This creates an entitlement mentality where they think they are entitled to more than they have, when in reality they had the same opportunity to make a sensible choice as others.

What you do in life is a choice!

There are a multitude of charts showing salaries of various college majors. I am showing one below.

Dead on. My daughter is at MSU in engineering working her tail off and college is expensive but there are many majors that it is hard to justify the cost (engineering or medicine are not them). Many majors may have students get out making 25-35K a year. The model just doesn't give a return. While many are jealous of those kids who chose tough majors that make good money later, they don't want anything to do with the sacrifice it takes to get there. Just have the gov or someone give me the money.
