Young people really need to wake up to the scam that is college. Most majors are totally useless and a guaranty of nothing.
They would do better to do vocational training and/or start their own businesses.
If you must go to college, choose a major that will be of use in the future, which is mostly S.T.E.M. Most everything else is a waste of time and money.
