Better off than without a degree. In the long term.



Not if you are hounded by $200k in debt. My niece had to declare bankruptcy (yes I know that federal loans cannot be discharged by bankruptcy-she owed everywhere)


Nobody has $200,000 in debt for an undergraduate degree. The average debt is $30k.

Someone doing gender studies could become a consultant to F500 companies or go into HR...plenty of opportunities.


They could also become president but they will not…..they’ll be an angry barista with no future.
4th tier law school and then wife on daddy's money at my school.

That is an insane amount of college debt. No way. People need to stop this insanity


Yes, we need to fund our universities so that students don’t need to take on crazy debts.

A student can’t take out more than about $27k. Anything more is co-signed by the parent.
