Doesn't that mean the market worked?

You're saying it's unfortunate that these students couldn't afford to go into a field that when they probably wouldn't be able get a job after they graduated anyway.

The same thing is going on right now in computer animation, and that is why I switched my major to psychology. The schools are way overpriced because there are an unbalanced number of students pursuing a major in computer animation. But that's how it should be. The higher prices keep more people out, which keeps all but the most serious and dedicated students out. This keeps the field from becoming even more oversaturated with mediocre workers.
