Shame on the universities and colleges that sell unmarketable degrees in exchange for loan money that no sane person could ever imagine is repayable.

It’s predatory.

Exactly right.

B.S. degrees like "Black Studies" and "Womens Studies" and such nonsense are marketable exactly nowhere.

Math, Science, Technology, Engineering = all marketable.

Trades like plumbing, carpentry, electricity, environmentals, building, mechanics, auto repair and more = all marketable.

in fact, there's a shortage of ALL in the trades.

Want to make money quickly without incurring tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt? THE TRADES!

In fact, they often pay a good buck to learn!

Why are so many people so damn' stupid buying into the "college is for everyone?" bullshit?

I went to college and have multiple degrees. I paid for my education myself. I realize I'm not the rule and more the exception. I get that. Still, it's not for everyone. Just like me going into the trades wasn't for me. I'd have failed out in any of the trades in a heartbeat (and I should've.)

Shame on those guaranteeing these insane loans to students getting inane degrees, that have no hope of being paid back in any kind of reasonable timeframe.

But we already knew the government is shameless, and the institutions that are milking it as well.

Colleges are run by idiots who got useless college degrees. Where else is can someone get a job with a totally useless degree in “Feminist Studies?” These are completely useless people with huge egos and they love the power brainwashing equally useless people. And these useless people come up with ridiculous theories that are destroying civilization.
