The number of places in colleges allocated to each degree is determined by the demand of labor in that area. So, in other words, if someone picked a degree because that's the sort of job they want and not because of there being a lot of jobs in that field, that person will or will not gain admission to his choice of degree depending on his prior qualifications.

It certainly can only help you achieve a better job. RossTheHoss69 Posted at 12:49 pm on May 15, 2008 Yes, it does make going into that field really pointless, unless you are extremely talented in that area, and could show a higher level of achievement.
