I wasn't going to respond further (as the OP deleted their post) until you said this:
"Your remarks make it obvious that you aren't the one paying for your own tuition / aren't even thinking about the ramifications of the costs associated with attending Cornell."
I guess it wasn't enough for you to presume that everyone majoring into biology fits into your four categories, you had to then start extrapolating about my financial situation based on a single reddit comment. You don't know what scholarships I worked my ass off for, you don't know one damn thing about my finances, and you don't know how I pay for Cornell.
" No one is shitting on Biology as a major" " Save yourself and gtfo" "I move to abolish this as a major" To be so cognitively dissonant as an impressive CS major (making 150k a year!) reflects poorly on Cornell.
"Most of what I stated are facts based on personal experience." That is what is called anecdotal evidence.
"It's fiscally irresponsible, if the university could subsidize certain fields of study based on earning potential, that would be more fair and encourage students to explore other alternatives and give back to the community. " Hmmm, I wonder why New York students studying majors like viticulture, food science, and agriculture get a tuition break. Surely it can't be that NY is subsidizing industries essential to the NY economy, can it?
Here's a list of jobs from my LinkedIn that only require an undergraduate degree in biology or a related field: USAF biologist, in-vivo Animal Biologist, Laboratory Manager, NIH Cell Biology Research Associate, Biostatistician, Forensic scientist, Process Sciences Associate, Drug Delivery Research Associate, Drug development research associate, high school teacher, etc. However, according to you these aren't practical jobs that make enough money, therefore none of them are respectable careers. I guess my only option is to get a computer science degree.
Additionally, your anecdotal evidence states " I've seen people go to a fucken coding bootcamp for a summer and come out at 100K." Using your assumption that all Cornell students graduate with 200k in debt, you yourself have been extremely financially irresponsible! Therefore, we should abolish CS as a major and just have bootcamps instead.
