Are there advisors in schools, nowadays, to provide guidance
for kids?

In the past several weeks, I've spoken to a lot of kids "just
graduating" or "in a year or so".  Many complain about a BAD
job market.

But, when I drill down into their qualifications, most have
taken "impractical" majors:  english lit, psychology, history,
art, etc.

Didn't anyone advise them as to the marketability of these
educations before they invested 4 years of their time/money?

"And, where did you THINK you were going to work?  Do you
LOVE kids -- cuz you're likely only qualified to be a teacher..."
