College May Not Be Worth It Anymore

Re:College May Not Be Worth It Anymore by RandallBrown on Thursday May 17, 2018 @02:32PM (#17094060)

Schools don't necessarily know your major until your junior or senior year.

Are you proposing a system where a school would accept you, decide there were too many of your preferred major, and kick you out or choose another?

The other option would be to force 17/18 year olds to choose their future careers while in high school.

That happens all the time.

So, yes.

I guess the difference is that the school was previously limiting you based on their resources, which is understandable. It would be a totally different thing if they said "You can't go nursing school because there are currently too many nurses and it might be hard for you to find a job, even though our classes are half full."

Presumably their class sizes would also be a responsive part of the system (so they wouldn't be half full).
