This was brought up somewhere a while ago and I think we should revisit it and enact it: make a sticky in Academic & Career Guidance, a disclaimer to the effect that students should not take this forum as a primary source of guidance but should consult advisors at their school, should take advice given in the forum with the proper grain of salt, etc., things of that nature.
