Only $40k debt, you got off lucky.
Poor kid they are so unrealistic, bright, optimistic when they start college at 17 or 18. Then upon graduation comes reality. The only sane majors are engineering, business administration and for the really gifted the hard sciences.
Why on earth would you shell out that much money to “follow your dreams”?
I have an award signed by John Kerry, which I don’t display for obvious reasons. $5 anyone? (OK $3, and I’ll pay shipping)
She’s too stupid to know that you HAVE TO ACTUALLY INTERN FOR FREE IN PERFORMANCES TO GAIN A REPUTATION AND A NETWORK AND WORK AUDITIONS to get paid to do theatre.
She didn’t do cost/benefit analysis on her degree, and now it’s everybody else’ fault.
Only $40k debt, you got off lucky.
Qualified to work at Starbucks or a dancing sign flipper.

GASP! A Theatre major can't find a high paying job? But I would assume that Theatre companies are clamoring to find Theatre majors to hire and give money to. Who would have guessed?
Well, there is always the federal government. Her biggest problem getting a high paying federal job is that she is the wrong color.
My kid’s engineering school has a 90 day guarantee. You will get a job, in your field, at a competitive wage within 90 days, or we will give you free classes to get a Masters in your field for free.
My older daughters have realized that their career paths don’t require college. They both have associates degrees and are continuing their education slowly and debt free.
Criminy! I think i see the problem. It’s a degree in Theater! Not worth a plugged nickle!
She didn’t learn much in college if she thought she was buying a diploma.
She should have understood that she was buying an education.
With that level of misunderstanding, I’m not surprised that she can’t find a job.

Why not, she can get the school to give her another one for $25.
So she would make $49,975 and make a BS supposed political statement.
Don't you know ... It's not STEM Degrees that are so terribly valuable these days. It's STEAM Degrees ... Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS, and Mathematics.

Hilarious!
My BIL’s brother’s daughter got a ‘degree’ from FSU too...in Women’s Studies.
The she got a full ride scholarship to Georgetown to get a Masters in Women’s Studies.
Then she “married” her wife. (I told him, ‘no she isn’t married).
Then she became a professor of Women’s Studies.
Then she divorced her wife. All in the span of about 5 years.
Livin’ the dream!!
She should have opted for the degree in Lesbian Dance Theory, better job prospects in SoCal.
Some attention whore victim needs to be more creative in getting attention, now that she’s out of college. It’s so easy to be the victim in college.
On the other hand, I can sympathize with those students who took on huge debt for college not realizing they would have to pay it off eventually. Everybody does it! She wants Hillary! or some other Socialist to make tax payers pay off her loans. She’s bringing her desperate need to the newspapers.
