I'm not sure why you're taking such a sanctimonious approach here. I'm also not sure why you keep repeating this advice, as though I or anyone on this board need to hear it. My point, which I'll try to make again, is that, among my peer group and in my generation, the universally prevalent idea was, "get a degree in anything, you'll get a job," full stop. (Please, don't take this as a sign that I need you to tell me to "google starting salaries for majors" again!). When you're a 16 year old without much technical aptitude--not me, but certainly my friends--that sounds like a good proposition! The schools won't do anything to disabuse the incoming students of that, either. Why would they? Every department wants a steady influx of students, so none of them are going to say, "nope, no jobs here!" I think you probably grew up in quite a different era, which is why I keep getting a sense of "kids these days" in your messages. I do kind of wonder what it would take to get you to empathize with people who grew up in a different time, under different circumstances, people who are part of a substantial cohort, who all acted in good faith on bad life advice and are all paying a substantial price for it. If, in response, you're going to say "just google it!" or "personal responsibility!" then please, let's save us all the typing and let it go.
