Well i believe in general terms, that any degree holders have their own unique abilities to rise to the highest level in their own career path. But i suppose if that degree is redundant and cause more trouble than good then better change course.

Can you give us example of degrees that have these problems?

a developing nation is driven towards a science and ICT based economy , those art degree holders ( in general) has disadvantage against science, engineering, ICT degree holders.

There's a flaw in this. Regardless of the nation's motive, there's always a need for people educated in different type of field. I'm assuming business and laws are categorize under arts for this. Science research often have value only if it could be commercialized for the market, ie through the business people. Also, there will be a need lawyers to help the IP patent etc. That's why US companies tend to play down the majors when they are hiring because they want the diversity, unless those jobs requires specific training and skills.

Even in the universities in the US, professors and researchers are encouraged to look into other fields to broaden their way of approaching a specific problem.

I believe in the market power, if a certain course really is less desirable, there will be less people demanding it. If it's really that bad, no one will continue to study under that major and it will just die off by itself.
