I get frustrated with colleges having these types of majors. A course or two, sure! That would be interesting. But with the money colleges charge, you'd think they would put them on the street with marketable skills. My niece is leaving U. Conn with a doctorate in pharmacy, and already has a job paying her about 150K to start. Now THAT'S education

No, that's professional school. And this has been a conversation about college/undergrad choices.

But it is appalling that college has, essentially, become the new HS and at such a high price tag, even for public schools.

You have to start somewhere, as my niece did. She just picked a major that would guarantee her a good income.

No, she picked a grad school that would guarantee her a good income -- there's a difference, especially in cases where grad school doesn't require a particular undergraduate major.

Graduate schools in law, business, journalism/communications, public policy, public health, and international affairs would all be open to someone who majored in political science and/or womens' studies. Even med school doesn't require a particular major -- just certain courses.

No grad school or college or major will "guarantee you a good income," just like no grad school or college will guarantee destitution.  Some programs, like dentistry, may significantly increase your odds of financial success, but there are plenty of "$$$ major" grads out there who are just as poor as the women's studies majors maligned by PPs in this forum.
