The purpose of college these days is to render you employable. As the student, you want to minimize debt. It's the new high school.
Lots of people have no idea what to go do with themselves in college, but you have to major in *something* to graduate.
I expect an attorney to be more careful to avoid stating his opinions as facts. Sure, for many college students, the main purpose of college is to get a better job than they would otherwise, but there are people who attend college out of intellectual curiosity, and some of their parents will be found on a gifted forum. A person whose only question about every college class is "how will this get me a job" will learn less -- and perhaps in the future earn less -- than someone who has a respect for learning and is willing to learn things with no immediate application.
