[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the price.

If college cost $5, there would be a lot more history majors. And if the corporate world signaled they are enthusiastic about hiring history majors, there will be a lot more history majors.

But that’s not the case in 2024. And so the youngsters choose according [/quote]

This is classic culling.  Your poor and middle class folks will continue to prioritize the trades and dumb down lower level colleges.  I can assure you Princeton’s history department is just fine and Yale Law School will be seeking those history majors for first admissions.  [/quote]

Very few people can go to Princeton and Yale. Duh. Most people will go to "lower level colleges", and should prioritize the practical. Poor and middle class folks can, and should, prioritize the practical. [/quote]
And Princeton and Yale don't even have the best history program-that title has historically and continues to go to Massive UC Berkeley. The difference is that Berkeley has to filter and churn through grads like clockwork to produce the best students and to bring in the best graduate students and later faculty. A Princeton history major will stay a history major. History is very well supported in big state universities, but you have to be on top of your game and use all the resources possible for your specialty.[/quote]
