There's been a lot of hype about college. go to college and get a 'good' job. Go to college and you'll be assured of a high paying job. Get out of the minimum wage trap by going to college. Unemployed? Go to college and learn a new field to get a job. on and on. We sell it to our kids all the time. There is now discussion of whether colleges should offer courses of study that are not geared to current employment needs/targets. Should students major in something that doesn't guarantee them employment? Etc. Here comes a former student, who majored in drama, who is employed, to answer a remark by the Chancellor of the University System of Georgia.
