20 years ago, it was just all about going to college. Go to college. Get a degree. Get a good job. That was the path.
10 years ago it became, go to college, but pick the right major. Finish that major. Get a good job.
5 years ago it became, go to college and major in engineering or cs. Finish those majors. Make money.
For the last year or two, it has really been all about trades. Welding, plumbing, HVAC, electrical.
It's just a matter of time before those graduates can't get jobs and it swings again. I'm betting ethics and philosophy and/or social work will be the next big push.
