Someone needs to lock Republicans and Democrats in a room until they can agree on a way to balance the budget and reduce the national debt.

Preach. I also think it would be great if we'd stop telling young people that you have to go to college if you want a good job. Kids go to college for the sake of it and then automatically assume they'll get a great job because they have a degree. It's not true, especially if they get such a major as you described. I think it's important for people to do what they want to do and do what they love, so if they do love sociology or whatever, go for it, but don't expect to have a high-paying kick-butt job after and be reasonable with your college choices and what you can afford.
