K - 12s have been in the fad of “everyday math”—but that flash in the pan omits budgeting and learning how to file taxes.

Unless you obtain a degree in stem, your education Cost will be very difficult to pay back.

The post-grad sentiment looks to be realistic.

Data not disaggregated by major (e.g., STEM, versus "Black Studies," etc.) = worthless!

My guess is the ones who have been absolved by debt have already thought about jumping back into the pool.

Here's an idea:

Students: get you money back from the universities; stop screwing the taxpapers.

Survey?

How’s bout a survey of people who graduated up to now and who paid our own way?

That’s what you need to survey because WE are the ones being asked to pay for others who want THEIR education for free!

However, if you graduated with a STEM degree or a degree where moving into the workforce is a natural progression, those numbers won’t be accurate. They should break this chart down by type of degree. I’m sure what we will find is French lit and Women’s study majors are the ones answering these questions.

Big Education (BE) is financially raping their student body. There are no market pressures that would exert control on BE’s tuition, fees, and other charges. BE knows that any price they fix will be paid by the students. Where the students get the money is of no concern to BE - pay up front or go away. And if a student meets the exorbitant number set by BE, it is still up to the student to somehow absorb enough information to get a job in life. Most often the effort by the student to acquire information is thwarted by educators that are far more interested in acquiring tenure and grants than they are about educating BE’s paying customers. Add to that the underlying feeling that BE is unconcerned about providing a quality product to their students.

On an economics related note...

College is a Scam - Indoctrination not Education

The short video is very instructive and worth the watch. Would love to know how the student being quizzed feels now...
