Choose major carefully

Sixty youths, 34 of them with college diplomas, joined a butcher training program recently, sparking a public debate with some people saying that if a college degree holder works as a butcher it would be a waste of human resources.

I think the problem lies with the education system and the choice of subjects made by students. Many students choose to major in subjects that do not have practical applications in the job market, or for that matter in the real world. Therefore, it is not surprising that some of them end up doing jobs that don't require expert knowledge.
