What's the point of majoring in history? It's interesting, but what does that get you besides teaching history in high school where nobody gives a sh**t or being a history prof?

Unless you go to law school, it's pointless, much like Political Science, english, etc..

Pointless because...?

because you are worth as a human what the market says your labor is worth.

In all seriousness, I am disturbed by the trend in American education (and much of society, frankly) that puts earning potential over...you know...a comprehensive, well-rounded education.

The vast majority of people will not be technocrats, and it's pretty bad for a  society when its  "middle" falls out.
