I know HN is really sensitive about this, but this sounds like a very culturally white thing. Many other cultures have a mentality of "get an employable major, period" and we are now seeing how superior that mentality really is, considering the impending generational student debt crisis. If you have rich parents who can support you for life and set you up with an inheritance, knock yourself out with the Art major (like the daughter in the article). If you don't, then pursue your passions and expect a difficult life... or just choose a more employable major or career path.
