@hawkeye10,
I disagree; I earned my BS in Business Administration with a major in Accounting, and it provided me with enough savvy to earn a pretty good living. All my siblings were in the professions - learned in college; my oldest was an attorney, my younger brother an Ophthalmologist, and my sister an RN. Our older son earned his masters at the University of Texas in Austin, and now works for the university. Although our younger son earned a bachelors in Psychology (cum laude), not much in job opportunities. However, I've always told my kids I expected them to go to college, and they could choose their own career field.
