The context of the speech was preaching to the parents not to push a major on the kids for fear they can’t find a job with their intended major. The dean wasn’t touting anything in particular, just trying to reassure parents that their kids would still get a good education and not starve even if they did major in whatever it was they wanted.

I do agree for the most part, but not sure how well the advice applies to my niece’s situation because there just is not a lot the family can do to help her if her major doesn’t work out. I have a liberal arts degree and it took me almost 2 decades before I found a really good job that I liked and pays well. I just don’t want to see my niece in the same situation.
