Lots of very, very low paying jobs there.

Fallout could be that baristas and bartenders will be less educated.

Would like to see them keep some of the foreign languages, especially Russian. God help us if one of our trade negotiators had to rely on a Kremlin provided translator.
There is still a degree in General Studies. That seems like a worthless major, but maybe not if the focus was in a high-tech area.

Well, someone can still study Russian and learn the language. But is a degree in Russian a worthwhile course of study?

As a frosh at Purdue, I signed up for Beginner Spanish (forget the actual name). I dropped it after the first class. Everyone in there was spoke fluent Spanish.

Well, if you're going to study Russian, getting a degree guarantees and certifies a degree of mastery.
BTW, every native Spanish speaker I knew took beginning Spanish, for the Easy A of course. That probably happened for the native speakers of every foreign language .
