Are we sending too many unprepared/underprepared students to college?

No one has ever suggested in this thread to deny anyone the opportunity of a college education if s/he is academically and mentally prepared.

Is it too easy to graduate from college, even though many students without financial issues still fail to do so? Yes. According to MyMajors.com, there’re over 1,800 college majors, vastly more than there use to be. They aren’t just new innovative new areas worth 4-6 years of students’ time. Many of them waste education resources and they don’t benefit the students, their families, or the society. In fact, we do all of them a disservice.
