Increase in J-school kids

Apparently, J-school is booming with new applicants.

I'd love to be able to say that it's wonderful that there's an influx of new people who will be ready and able to step up and take over the industry.

However, my real question is: do they really know what they're getting into? And are they really going to be willing to dive headfirst into a struggling industry to try their hardest to salvage what's left and turn it into something great?

I don't think there's really a major for that.
