Useful degrees like computer science are.. useful. Some of the other ones are almost (or maybe full on) fraudulent and prospects are dim for lots of people. People agree to pay for college out of the expectation that they will receive a salary that justifies that cost. Colleges have a pretty good idea of whether or not someone will have a good chance at a solid career and it seems really fraudulent to hide that from their students.
I think students could benefit greatly if high schools had a class about various degrees, career paths and their salaries. Kids are mostly just picking a track at random without knowing what it entails. I recall having a vague notion of being some kind of business man later in life so I decided to go that route. Thankfully it was boring enough to push me to computer science.
