With a very few subject matter fields excepted (engineering, sciences, etc.), I am forced to conclude that nowadays in general, college not only doesn’t get you a job, but it actually makes you stupider.
You are right that only engineering, math, the sciences are worth paying for a college degree.
Literature, art, music and any of the liberal arts can be studied by an individual reading and taking a few classes.
Being immersed in most of the studies now being offered only exposes the student to lefty professors and leaves him/her saddled with debt and working in a coffee shop. Or maybe becoming some kind of angry agitator or OWS person
” college not only doesn’t get you a job, but it actually makes you stupider.”
There’s no guarantee you will receive a job after graduation but it always depends on your character and which degree you attain in the end. Now if your degree was in the norm of something idiotic and useless such as “Women’s Studies”, then you deserve to be unemployed.
