Some majors like womans studies, psychology, and communications.... Pretty worthless majors.

I agree, but that's a different issue. At time of admission, schools have a very good idea of a student's odds of completing a degree. They wildly mislead low probability students about those odds and then encourage them to take on as much financial aid as possible.

I remember starting my major with 93 students, was down to 29 by the time we graduated.

That’s pretty much the norm

Well, maybe for my major. I dont know how many of them ended up dropping out. I know some transferred majors.

It’s been a while since I checked these numbers, but only a little over 1/3 of students graduate.

I didnt think it was that low. Imagine the 2/3 that are saddled with debt and no degree.

During my era, more students should have been encouraged to go to trade schools instead of academic.
