As for prof's lying through their teeth...yup...perhaps by omission but still a lie. If the prof's level with their students about employment, nobody selects that major and the prof's job goes away.
again, do you actually have evidence of this?

been a while since i hung out with lib ed folks, but i thought it was common knowledge among them that job prospects, and high paying job prospects for most of those majors were pretty low. that no one was blowing smoke up there asses.

agian, thats just my experience with those kind of classes and folks, admittedly that was 5 years ago or so. no one prospects were good (probably less than half the graduating engineers had jobs).
