I think the stupid thing is to major in them. If you want to do modern music, all you need is training, there's too little to learn about it to major in it. And if you want to do classical, you need to either get in at a really high tier academy, or get a good private teacher.

Please note that the way the masses perceive science doesn't alter its position as possibly the most fundamental areas of study.

Please note that all the money in the world can only do so much, and Bill Gates exemplifies that (his various education initiatives failed hard). Please note that power is subjective, and especially in law, depends upon what your area is. Also note that if you examines the extremes like all scientists and engineers going on strike versus all lawyers going on strike, the former can possibly cause apocalyptic situations.

Power is the ability to make change, correct? Scientists, engineers, and mathematicians create technology and expand knowledge that will be in use centuries from now.

I happen to be a geologist, and by odd chance also a CEO of a business that works in mining.

you're expectations are fairly accurate, but if you plan on going to work drunk I can promise you will be permanently prevented from working in mining, drilling, and probably construction.

MSHA, OSHA, and insurance companies track people that do that kind of thing, and make sure they work at McDonalds or some similar place where they won't risk the lives of others. If you don't get caught until you cause an accident, you'll likely go to prison... mining is the only profession I know of where negligence is a crime and punished as such.

miners in general love to drink, and fight, and pull pranks. We just do it after work, because the job pays far too much to risk over some playtime crap.

also I'm the CEO of a business I started and grew, that's about the only way a geo is gonna be a CEO without an MBA.

My experience is only relevant to the US legal market.
1. It costs between $150K and $210K to attend for three years, which most students will finance with student loans. These loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
2. There are ~45,000 new law graduates a year, and even in the boom times of 2007 there were only ~30,000 new jobs.
3. There is a bimodal distribution of first year salaries. Around 5,000 new jobs a year will pay $160K a year. Another 5000 will pay around $70K -$100K. The rest will pay $40K - $50K, which is barely enough to pay the interest on your loans.

Basically, it is a profession of haves and have-nots. If you can't get into a top 14 school, or a top 30 school with a significant scholarship, it is not worth attending.
