That’s the society we live in. The schools and parents push their kids into thinking that if they go to college, there will automatically be a dream job at the end waiting for them. If they dont go to college, they will be garbage men or working at fast food for the rest of their lives.
That’s not the kids fault. That’s the parents that are doing that. And the schools are also to blame because they play into the scam. Universities dont advice kids about the loans they are taking out or advice them about the truth of the job market because if they did, they would lose students and the university loses money.
Go to a law school admissions office and they will flood you with more bullcrap than you would hear from a used car salesman.
If the students are adults, it is indeed their fault. As I said above, no one forced them into a loan.
And anyone who’s stupid enough to believe that a degree in women’s studies will inevitably lead to a six-figure job deserves a LOT of financial pain.
