I actually think your point opposes universities eliminating majors


The trade school route has been growing in popularity (and awareness, to those who think a 4-year college is the only route to success) for years. It already offers another path for students who aren't a good fit for a 4-year school, or who want to learn a trade. So why should 4-year schools also eliminate some majors? Some people want a degree in history because they love history. And they aren't expecting a career in it (especially older students, who already have a career in something). Why stop offering learning because it doesn't make money, when there are already other options?
