I spent most of my life as a programmer and loved it.
But it sucks for kids now who will end up in dept to there ears no matter what they major in.
STEM grads have a better chance.
But what if your interests are somewhere else?
You still end up 100k in debt but without a realistic chance to pay it back.
You should be able to follow your interests (finding out what they are is part of collage) and not end up in dept for your entire life.

You sure about that worth every penny comment?
It just feels like an I want my cake and ave it too argument. You can study whatever you want. And pay for it. Or you can study what pays and get paid. You can work and have no debt or you can no work and have debt.
But the response seems to be I want to have free college, get a lib arts degree and make millions.
It sounds like conversations with my daughter.
And I want to fly around like a bird, princess. But this is real life. Grow Up.
