Sure, but you can't seriously fault the college for not declaring "Our $LiberalArtsMajor majors are usually unemployed."
Graduating high school, it's incredibly clear that studying finance or engineering will give you a higher income than studying most liberal arts majors. That's so universally known in our culture — and I say this as someone from a terrible neighborhood where nobody went to college — that it's almost absurd.
Nobody signs up for a liberal arts major, stays through it throughout college (even seeing their low to zero internship pay compared to high pay for other majors their peers are in), and then when they get out, says "wow, I'm shocked!".

- lowkey_ 5y agoWe don't expect books to include "Not guaranteed to make you smarter" on the label. Though we technically expect securities to include "Not guaranteed to make you rich," it's in small text nobody ever reads. I doubt a high school student would be reading it and rethinking their major... If you're American, you already know that liberal arts majors don't go to college thinking "people are going to pay me so much money for this degree in gender studies."
