"To Boost Post-College Prospects, Cut Humanities Departments
Half of freshly minted college graduates are unemployed or underemployed. And they’re saddled with a portion of the U.S.’s $1 trillion in student loan debt to pay record high tuitions. To fix this problem, the answer is simple enough: cut out the departments offering majors that make students unemployable."

I..... disagree. The author seems to think that colleges and universities should be nothing more than expensive trade schools.
Of course forgetting that his English classes helped him write this article, etc...
Recent college grads are not unemployed because they're idiots or poorly educated. College grads are unemployed because nationwide unemployment is so high. Heck... most high school and college kids are unemployed now, because all the unemployed grownups have snapped up the summer jobs.
