Hey, dunno if I'm too late to the party to get this answered, but:

This obviously isn't the only problem, but it seems like a big problem is this scenario I've seen many friends go through, where they spend ~$200k on a degree from a private college and major in something that really has very few employment opportunities related to it (dance, art history, <obscure language> studies, etc). After graduation, they have a lot of debt and usually not a great paying job.

Now I'm not saying that everyone has to do STEM or die by any means. But it seems like there's this messed system where incoming college students are told "study what you love, and the rest will come together!", Which is certainly well meaning and romantic, but kind of naive and maybe even harmful. My question is, do you think it'd be reasonable for there to be more oversight/education with regards to employment possibilities for various majors?
