Yes, I kind of agree, but I don't blame the universities. They merely respond to demand for humanities by teaching them what they want. I don't want to live in the type of place where students are effectively denied their choice even if it is a stupid choice looking from a monetary point of view. If kids with rich parents want to learn greek literature on their parents dime, well, good luck to them and I hope they get laid with their ability to wear a toga with panache. It's up to the students to work out for themselves that they're doing a pointless thing, and that it won't pay off. I suspect this is partly an information problem and partly a societal problem - there's too much emphasis on going to college as a social marker and not enough emphasis of what happens when you finish. Maybe there's a good website weekend project in there to do an cost/benefit analysis of different types of study which calculates the debt, the 1 year, 5 year and 10 year salary ranges for the graduate, and also compares other non-college trades and vocations for equivalent payoffs.
