Discouraging or hindsighting people either before or after college for choosing a prosocial degree is contributing to shifting the culture against the humanities.
We should actively discourage people from getting degrees on the basis of "well how much will I get paid?" Look at the world, people who choose that path almost always become the worst people society has to offer, selfish, individualistic opportunists. College should be a last gasp attempt to dissuade as many as possible from seeking capital as it's own end and not social contribution in an area of passion. Every MBA and modern "start from unregulated capitalism is perfect and defend from there" economist is a defeat for humanity. Those that make a vocation out of trying to quantify and extract maximum value from other people as the entire point. It's perverse they are the most rewarded in society by education. And it largely isn't pushed for their individual interests, but for expectations of economic growth, something we have to abandon fucking decades ago if we want a future for our species at all.
