the sort that gravitate towards that school

Again, this is very derogatory. I have considered applying, I have not applied to it. You’re being extremely condescending and making it personal, which goes to show that all you rely on are generalities and stereotypes.

biology prepares you for nothing else falls very well within that stereotype.

I never said it prepares him for nothing else, I simply disagreed with your statement when you said “vast”. Sure, Bio majors have many options, but they aren’t “vast”.

Aside from computer science, engineering or finance/accounting, what majors really get someone “very far”?

Hmmm…let’s see. Biology is a very saturated field at the moment. This person is gearing himself for medical school. Do you think it’s easy to switch gears and change interests the moment he fails to get into medical school? Unless you have a sky high GPA (which most Bio majors do; they’re a dime a dozen), the chances that you will land a “Biology involved” job isn’t high, and most of them involve academia.
Addressing your original question, you just removed more than 25 majors to consider, but no matter. What about Economics? Engineering/Medical Technologist? Business Administration? Commerce?

Should we just tell the troves of people studying everything from English to religion to just drop out?

Did I say anything that could be deduced as this? Because I am damn sure I didn’t.
