My daughter is an Art major. Her undergrad is paid by grandparents who left the money but she is on her own after college.
Every day closer to graduation, she sees the handwriting on the wall a little clearer.

I think unless you’re going for a marketable skill (engineering, accounting, etc.), it’s better to pass on college.
Even engineering is iffy now. There are a lot of unemployed engineers.
Back in the day, college was cheap, so you didn’t end up owing your soul to the company store.
But as with healthcare, gov’t intervention to make it affordable had the opposite effect.

I payed my way thru college, with some help here and there from my parents. This was before the “College Degree/Student Loans” racket came into existence fortunately.

Our Computer Science department has a 100% placement rate. Every grad has a job waiting on them. Granted it is hard and a lot of students have to change majors. Engineering is nearly the same.
My son is a Finance/Accounting major with a minor in Turf Grass. He works as a researcher in the Turf Grass department, going to golf courses and doing tests plus cutting the research fairways. Pretty sweet deal.
Of course, my lawn looks like crap.

LOL! Mine too. But I do edge the curbs.

Air medical flight nurse is his current profession. Like any other business, the pressure for more revenue and cutting costs is ever present. The pressure to fly in marginal weather is making him re-think career choices. The trade off is cost of additional education versus reduced income. The risk is IFITG:inadvertent flight into the ground.
