This article should be required reading for every student considering college. Most students choose majors as a path to career. Knowing that some majors are entirely unsuited to that end, or that for-profit schools are very inferior to not-for-profits, could save a lot of grief later. A mass student diaspora away from useless majors also might force universities to finally rethink their priorities, which at present serve most students poorly and at insane cost. I got a BS in zoology (followed by a MS in CS). Had I known the truly terrible prospects for a biology degree, I would certainly have chosen a subject more interesting than memorizing the latin monnikers of minutiae, especially if I knew I could later rely on a MSCS to do the heavy lifting.
