Back in the late 80's, when I went back for an MBA, I noticed that the absolute dregs of the freshman classes were being steered into the Education, Journalism, Media Arts majors. Remember, it is Gospel According to Public Education that no one will "succeed" without a degree, and the easiest degree is a teaching degree.

Thomas Sowell pointed out EXACTLY the same regarding ‘education’ majors, in his classic book “Inside American Education”.
Needless to say, virtually no one on our side (except me) paid any attention to him. The thought of ‘free’ school for our kids was all that mattered.
I was studying pre-med at Wayne State University in Detroit in the early 70’s. I knew many education majors. They seemed decent enough at the time and they actually did have to do some work in their classes. The ones who were the real stoner bums and didn’t appear to do anything were the journalism majors. What a surprise, eh?
