> Veterinarian programs specific limit how many students they accept, because if they didn't, their graduates wouldn't be able to afford a living wage. Other majors need to catch on.

Medical schools do the same thing, but that's also what's causing a burden on the medical system. I truly blame most of the medical expense increases in the U.S. on them and medicare (which sets a base price and everyone else must make up for).

Basically there was a medical school student freeze[1][2] from early 90's through 2010. Now, it's finally starting to increase, still much less than population.
