- hbbwebw 4y agoI think it’s more complicated than that because the students expect to get jobs after completing the degree, if they even can complete the degree. For example, Im not great at art and don’t really have a passion for it. Should an art school accept me even though I’ll never have a career as an artist? Keep in mind I’d be taking a spot from someone who could. I have no doubt they’ll be able to improve my abilities but that’s not why many students apply.
- bombcar 4y agoI wonder what percentage of people work in the field their degree is in. I suspect it’s very high for some (law, pilot, doctor) and very low for others (history).
