Universities should be about enriching humanity through the pursuit of knowledge. As with most things, politicians have begun to ruin our university system with their empty promotion/derision of them as a.) jobs programs or b.) wasteful spending because they aren't effective enough jobs programs. They are not job training programs. Go to a trade school if you want to be promised a job when you get out. University is 1st and foremost about learning. Whether or not you can take what you learned and turn it into a profession is up to you and the macroeconomic conditions that exist when you are trying to do so.
