f you pay for it yourself, sure

if you are using someone else's money, it has to be an approved major that will lead to direct employment in that field.

what's wrong with that?

Because the price of college right now has nothing to do with degrees, employability, etc. so the inability of those students to pay for something that is now astronomically overpriced for EVERYONE is only because of free money for college in the first place. It was government intervention that drove prices so high, not just general college growth.

If you fix what caused the mess, and college cheapens, then this wouldn't be an issue. But that's a much harder proposition. Then your science degrees can be worth EVEN MORE and A &H won't be set back so hard, even if everyone remains stubborn in how they hire and what they think.
