Could you imagine if all universities and their various colleges were that frank with their students? It would absolutely devastate the liberal arts programs.

All schools should be informative about the job market. I wish A&M wasn't the only school warning their students. Otherwise, there will be mass loads of surprised, angry graduates without jobs.

I'm with you, kudos to A&M for being transparent with their students. I wish more colleges and Universities would follow suit...

Yes. My classmate from high school is playing 30,000 per year for film school . Another girl took out a loan to study Asian studies at Emory for 20000 a year . I wish these colleges did the right thing .

It was refreshing to see them level set the applicant.

Mythbusting 101: Uncomfortable Truths Your College Won't Tell You
quote:Forbes article from 2012
1) “Far more people earn degrees in many liberal arts majors than can be employed in those fields.”
Consider the following statistics: More than half of Americans under the age of 25 who have a bachelor’s degree are either unemployed or underemployed. According to The Christian Science Monitor, nearly 1 percent of bartenders and 14 percent of parking lot attendants have a bachelor’s degree.

I recall LSU's graduate writing department publishing a disclaimer on its webpage around 2002 or so.
