Biggest reason:
Majors such as Socialogy, Psychology, Music etc... are not hard science degrees they are more/less liberal science or soft science. In other words they are easier for the average person who dosen't want to over-apply themselves to get.
Also:
Because people don't think with $$$$$$ in the front of their mind they think about "what's fun" and fun dosen't always = money. When you get older (or they) you relize how much of a mistake you made and should of tried harder for a better degree.
Yeah, but if the harder fields don't interest someone at all, they might have a hard time realizing any success from them.
