How about the kids who get a degree in “French Art”??

It is long past the time when colleges & universities need to publish the number of jobs open each year in various field of study.

I don’t think there are 50 openings a year for “French Art” degrees, but thousands of students spend millions of dollars getting that sheepskin.

Meanwhile, as the high school level, there are very few vocational classes even being taught.

It is a lie to push kids into ‘college’ when many of them are just not college material.

Then they get the idea that they are worth at least $100,000 a year in a starting salary.

I cannot wait until that ‘graduate’ who thinks they are worth $100,000 a year in salary cannot find an auto mechanic or a plumber to repair their property.

Even so-called "educators" don't want their students to know graduation rates from college. For the last 40 years, the percentage of adults over age 25 with at least a Bachelor's Degree has remained relatively constant, has has the HS graduation rate (25 percent and 75 percent, respectively.)

When I was a Navy recruiter, I was told I need not speak to the Physics and Chemistry teachers (I was the Nuclear Field recruiter) by administrators at numerous schools because, as they put it, "X (usually in the mid-90's) percent of our students go on to college." I then proceeded to ask them how many STAYED in college past the freshman year (typically less than 50 percent). They never had an answer for that.

I think there is a niche for majors like French Art, Medieval History or Philosophy, whatever - but only for kids who come from families so wealthy that their parents never care whether the kid makes over $30K a year or so. And that’s a pretty small niche. They need not worry because they’ll get what “The Millionaire Next Door” called economic outpatient care, either from their parents or by marrying into it. So yeah, might it be delightful to get a degree in French Art? Yes, if I don’t have to worry about a paycheck...

And they themselves have never learned so much as "righty tighty lefty loosey".

That’s not anything like, “French Culture” is it?
