I love creative people. I hire alot of them. I'm just pointing out that there are 100 grads with creative majors for every 10 openings in industry and 10 grads with business or science majors for every 100 openings in industry. It's all well and good to talk about the benefits of a liberal arts education or art history etc. but the bottom line is that when most kids graduate they expect to be able to get a job. They can't all work in galleries. It is simple common sense for us to design a system that encourages students to take majors that are clamoring for grads to hire and steer all but the most talented away from those majors that are producing far more grads than there are jobs.
