Why should a student spend 40+ hours/week studying math and physics for 4....
or more years? A typical student could study 5-10 hours/week in business
or some such for 4 years and start at twice the salary of a physics major,
that's assuming the physics major can get a job with a 4-year degree.
Physics and engineering careers are not the glorified fields they were in...
the 50's, 60's and 70's. Computer science and business are, this is where
the action and money is. Yes, it would be nice if students came to school
for the sake of knowledge, but they don't
Society has dictated that education is the way to $$$, not knowledge.
