Being an AmLit major at (my little ivy league college) is like giving advanced notice to the unemployment college. (I cannot take credit. A guy a year ahead of me said that)
You can go far at Wal-Mart with a degree in “whatever”. As long as you show you have the stick-to-it-iveness to actually get a degree, they don’t really care what it’s in.
We let kids go to college using federal student loans that we guarantee will be repaid (as the taxpayers) and let 17-22 year olds get a degree in an essentially non-applicable field and not be able to find a job of substance. Then we let them whine and complain that they are broke and can’t pay off that loan while they live at mommy and daddy’s playing X-Box all day long.
At least major in something of use, and minor in the humanities that you like so much. At least that way you are more rounded.

But colleges were better before they were just money mills, weren’t they?
I’m so old, I remember when “Business” was what you went into if you DIDN’T go to college.

Truth be told, a bachelors in humanities have character (you know, that old fashioned virtue) that is often lacking in many STEM majors.

So, as it is in our society now…….
We let kids go to college using federal student loans that we guarantee will be repaid (as the taxpayers) and let 17-22 year olds get a degree in an essentially non-applicable field and not be able to find a job of substance. Then we let them whine and complain that they are broke and can’t pay off that loan while they live at mommy and daddy’s playing X-Box all day long.

Reminds me of “Angel,” where a psychic demon fainted upon seeing that a loser literally had no future.
