The fact that the government is dictating what can and cannot be taught in universities is a bit...unsettling. I mean, just because something doesn't have merit in a job market, doesn't mean it's not worth learning about. Knowing about art and music history has little real-world application but I believe learning from the past is still important, even if one will never use it for employment purposes.
Not all universities are publicly funded, though. Even then, if someone wants to waste their time getting a degree for something that wont get them a job, they should still get the choice, but they should also be held responsible for the outcome of choosing that major.
Well if they want to get a degree that can't get them a job and try to complain it's everyone else's fault but theirs for getting a useless degree is more what I mean. Let them know it was their choice that made them careerless.
If you have to pay your own money to sign up for the school and each class, you should be able to take whatever class you want. Taxes are not the sole income for these schools when students still have to pay.
Making good use of it can be subjective. Plenty of people think the arts are a waste of classes but there's plenty of important careers there, but since some people find them useless should they be taken from offered courses? No.
Especially if you're a native speaker
