This is why economics should be mandatory in most high school and college curriculum: The laws of supply and demand apply to the job market as well. It blows my mind that schools require things like 3 years of foreign language but fail to teach their students anything about the market they will depend on to support themselves the rest of their lives.

- justaguyhere 7y agoBasic economics, first aid, dealing with cops/law, basic nutrition - these should be mandatory subjects for all students, would benefit them and the society in the long run
- quickthrower2 7y agoWhen I was at uni the idea was you study whatever you like, and then there will be a job at a big consultancy like Arthur Andersen or whatever waiting for you because they'd take in anyone with any degree (who can jump through their hoops) and then retrain them to do a job. I was fortunate as although I didn't have the "communication skills" to land such jobs (my hoop jumping skills were terrible), I did had tech skills so plenty of smaller companies and government jobs were possible for me to get. Anyway if this situation has changed, doing arty degrees should come with a disclaimer that no job might be found as a result, and as such they are hobbies. Doing a full time hobby for a few years at a cost to yourself should be considered a luxury of the rich.
