I want to pay for my kids education. I don't care what they take as long as they enjoy it. I don't like it when parents tell their kids they have to study engineering or business or science or computers because those are the only "useful" degrees. If my kid wants to study art history then go for it. Hell, they might end up using their degree. They maybe be an art teacher or a curator of a museum.

They way I see it, is University is not for job training (although many universities now are starting prgrams that do teach skills, like Guelph's Hotel and Food Administration program), but it should teach the child some discipline and responisbility. If you want to find a job, go to community college...you'll learn a skill there...hell that's where I'm going in september because my B.A didn't teach me anything that is useful in the working world.
