I'm not really sure how much empathy I have for this. I'm aware in the US you don't pick a major until a year in but even when you don't people, were ready to invest in subjects they knew would leave them with few job opportunities. They thought it was cool and wanted to go to university. Finding a job was a future problem. I was not and won't be anti-arts and humanities but they are just as popular, if not more so then many other subjects in universities and 90% of them know that it's a difficult field to find any work in

Don't pick a major until a year in? That definitely wasn't the norm when I was in university (albeit that's a long time ago).
