I feel that the younger generation of students were brainwashed into chasing after their passions and their interests be it in the arts or some other abstract subjects only to find out the hard truths when they couldn't find jobs or jobs that pay peanuts.
They eschewed the more established professions like law, accountancy, medicine, engineering etc...forgetting the most basic of supply and demand. They have to ask themselves - why would anyone want to pay you for doing what you want to do? People pay you to do what they want, not what you want.
