Because many people think of college as the path you go along to develop a career, become educated, become a part of an informed and thoughtful society, (because that is what it used to be and should still be) not a job training for the general population that is free for corporations and life-destroying for citizens, their future indentured debt-slaves-cough I mean employees. Not everybody does a cost-benefit analysis to calculate what jobs are in demand (realistically, will be in demand 5 years from now which may be radically different and unpredictable) and what majors give them these skills, then choose to forgo a real education in order to train for something they hate because of expected financial return. You're arguing that everyone should do that. I'd suggest that no-one should.
