Apparently I'm one of the few that actually read the article... The workload is cited as one of the main reasons.
This was true when I was in school, a long time ago.
Engineers could only party on the weekends, because they always had homework to do.
Architects couldn't party at all, because they were always in the lab.
Liberal arts majors were the most fun... They could always party.
Then, at least in my peer group, quite a few of them went to law school and "buckled down"... Now they charge me $250 per hour to review a stinking form contract.

He assumes the way too much about the quality and quantity of the student's future earnings if they just continue "in the workforce", whatever that means.
