There's nothing wrong with a college education and I would advise it, just for the experience. However, it's not translating into jobs for many people. In fact, nowadays more people are going into trades than when I was younger (I am now 48.). Anyway, though, I think any major in college can be success, but it depends on how much is put into after-college effort. For instance, even a philosophy degree, something mocked as useless, can be something if you can build a successful blog about the subject (one example).

I like to think the obsession is decreasing these days, without the promise of getting a good high paying job, not much reason for many to chase after it.
