I read the following article on the Janesville Gazette website:
 
A day for dreams: UW-Whitewater celebrates largest graduating class

GazetteXtra.com
 
It goes on to explain how the recent graduating class of 2010 in Whitewater Wisconsin was it's largest.  It doesn't go into a lot of detail about the actual size of the class, but I was encouraged that we still had students pursuing collegiate education.  It was even more encouraging that they were actually following through and graduating.
 
Then I came to the comments on the bottom.  It seems that there are differing opinions on the what colleges these days (and politics) are promoting.  Many believe that students are being pushed/led towards degrees in industries where currently there are very few jobs.  They are being told to pursue what they enjoy, even though it may not lead to a financially secure life and career.
 
Doing what you love is very important, but so is supporting one's self financially.  What are your thoughts?  Should students be pushed towards the 'trades'?  Real Estate?  What careers are most needed in your market?
