For some reason people think that just about any college degree will earn respect from potential employer. |
There are millions of things out there that are sold simply because there are people that are willing to buy them. That said, I think colleges should do a better job of being realistic with people. If they want to major in Hebrew scrolls the college should give them information before they even start school that tells them what the average person with a degree in that field is doing for a living and what they are making.
I'm sure a lot of people with obscure degrees would have gone in a different direction if they knew what their career path was likely going to be.
