Good - maybe the schools will re-think the proliferation of the “studies” degrees and get back to real education with degree programs that have real-world usage.

What are the kids who are unqualified for college supposed to study if they get rid of the "studies" degrees?

Spend $250,000 for “Black Lesbian Dance Theory for White Transgendered Men”. Yes is is just somethign I made up, but it is as relevant as any “studies” degree and just as useful. I agree with the comment, college for STEM only, otherwise you are wasting time and money

“What are the kids who are unqualified for college supposed to study if they get rid of the “studies” degrees?”

It’s a little late to go searching for The Joker meme about “Hmmm...not sure if serious” so I’ll just straight up separate my answers.

First, if the post was meant sarcastically, I’ll go with the smartass answer: “I guess the jocks can always hope to catch on with a minor league team.”

Serious post with serious answer: So many options pop into my mind like vocational training (welding, machinist, health sciences, automotive repairs), apprenticeship (electrician, plumber, pipefitter), military (not a choice I really recommend these days), hope your body holds out over the long haul for manual labor jobs. Unless you have an absolutely miserable academic record and don’t test well, community college could still be a possibility at a lesser cost.
