Why do we charge more for out of state tuition?

I agree, but there is not a shortage of liberal arts graduates in the USA. They can apply the ability to effectively communicate (and maybe even eventually lead) in a variety of careers fields, as your post points out -- they tend to specialize in not specializing. There are probably millions of examples of psychology and criminal justice major types being leaders in business. My point is society could maybe help out and possibly even steer people into technical/specialized majors where there is huge shortage of people working in those careers.

I don't think there is a shortage of strategic warfare, English, or operatic music majors. Of course, I don't have any data or links that supports my statement, as is required per Bisonville peer review.

Cognitive dissonance time...does this go against my strong capitalistic / libertarian views?

Card-carrying NDSU English major has reviewed your post and finds no issues. Carry on…

I have been an IT consultant for 25+ years with an architecture degree.

College is not job training. There are certain careers where you need a certain degree to work in that field (i.e. pharmacy, engineering), but those are a small percentage of the workforce. And I know people with engineering degrees working in a variety of fields.

If we did a poll here of those with college degrees, I bet we find more where there current job doesn't match their degree than those that do.

Sounds to me like we probably agree.

Do I get a prize for having 2 degrees (granted both AAS) that match my current job?

Absolutely! It does happen. It does happen. There are just so many jobs that aren't specific to any major. I just finished a project where I worked with product owners of credit and payout systems used by merchants who accent payments and/or have to pay others. There isn't a specific major for that kind of rule. Maybe a business major or a finance major or a CS/MIS major? Or some other major and their career evolved into this roles. I looked some up on LinkedIn. One has a BA degree but didn't list his major. His first job was in the Enterprise Rental Car Management program. Another has a degree in German. One of the product directors majored in English and Communications and another studied Biochemistry and Genetics. These are all people who had key roles in designing products for the largest merchant services firms in the world and sold to the largest companies in the world (Disney, AirBnB, and Bet365 are among their biggest clients). One of the guys I worked closely with was on the sales acceleration team. His job was to configure and request development changes to their Salesforce CRM and work with sales people moving opportunities through the sales process. He had has a degree in marketing so it's kind of close, but there isn't a major that teaches you that specific job.

I got a finance degree. There really isn't a specific job that it applies to. Its basically a piece of paper that says "I have an intermediate knowledge of the time value of money."

Of the business degrees, Accounting is the one that translates most directly to a specific career.

Definitely true, but accounting majors go into a variety of professions. I believe you do need an accounting degree to be a CPA if you are going route.

Yes, as apparently doing what every state does is backwards or something
