I can also easily point out a lot of those degrees don't actually
teach anyone how to do anything useful. That is why there are so many
graduates still sleeping in Mom's basement.
If they want to subsidize STEM degrees it might make some sense but
art history? Really? I don't see that job advertised very often maybe
never. That kind of job is usually taken by a person who went to
school when they were 5 or 6 and never left. They just work there now
making more people who can't find a job.



Yes, there are lots of degrees that there are very few job openings for.
My son took some kind of business course about 20 years ago. Took him a
bout 15 years to find a job that paid very much in the field. Before
that he worked at jobs that was along the line of his education,but
they did not pay very much over most manual labor jobs in the area.
He did hve about a 3.5 GPA so that should have landed him some good job
offerings after graduation, but it did not. Found out that most of the
job offerings in the field required several years of experiance.

It amazes me how the colleges can get big fees for courses that the end
result is jobs that do not pay much.

When a decent electrician makes $50k a year and up in wage depressed
Florida and find a job in the morning, it does make you wonder why a
BA is really worth much, particularly if you start your life $30k in
debt.

Its different tho if you want to do some work. If you want
to be an engineer, doctor, dentist etc, you don't even get to
start without a degree. Nurses too now in many jurisdictions.

And with plenty of more than menial office jobs they don't even
consider your application at all if you don't have any qualifications.
