I bet if that lady did some cost-benefit analysis on how much her degree cost against the extra income she can expect to earn with it, it's a net loss.
Higher education has become a scam. The universities and the government conspire to bury young people in debt before they understand just what it is they're setting themselves up for. Meanwhile, the universities sell their student info to Citibank and MasterCard to put the finishing touches on the scam.
College professor are nothing more than unofficial union goons these days.

That’s because everyone is getting degrees, and many of the degrees are in worthless disciplines. How many jobs are there for underwater basket weaving, for example.
