Well, all of our students want to be ‘upstairs’ executives and not ‘downstairs’ workers. Their ‘educations’ are geared towards being ornamental and having a nice income from a posh desk job, not actually WORKING on something practical.
I never did understand why someone would major in sociology, history, etc. except that they liked the subject. You’d think they’d pick a major that would help them land a job. My guess is that a fairly high percentage of college graduates who are underemployed majored in these or similar subject areas.
