> i wonder, is that specialist suppose to not make money their entire career? I think actually good education would allow them to do all kinds of things.

School teachers and tropical disease specialists both make money, but they often make less money than others with similar educations. If a school is judged on future earnings it will optimize around that, and the predictable outcome to such an incentive is that programs that lead to lower paying careers will suffer.

wouldn't the scarcity increase the value? Why would we want people to study things we don't need and not study things in high demand? I wonder what the real cost is. My school does about 80:1 in diplomas:jobs every year. I got the job :) no one else did but they didn't do anything wrong. They just wasted years and money both their own and public funds.
