I believe it's called common sense. What college professor is going to promote his program by touting limited career opportunity and subpar pay?

"Come major in General Business, you'll be one of thirty assistant managers at Target when you graduate!"

College isn't the fast track to the good life that it was 50 years ago. If you don't manage in something specialized and marketable, a BS/BA is the new high school diploma. But you won't get this reality talking with a high school guidance counselor or on your college visit. One of my little sister in laws was convinced by her high school counselor that if she didn't go to college she would be nothing in life. I explained that she could do a nursing program at a technical school and make better money than most college grads, with minimal debt. That made her feel much better.
