College didn’t educate me for shit. I was already educated by the time I got there. All college did was get me a degree that allowed me to get a second, high paying degree that educated me plenty.
How many majors are marketable and allow for jobs that can sustain a family, owning a home, etc??? Sure, you can get a philosophy degree and end up starting your own business in something completely unrelated and have $50M in the bank by the time you’re 50, but most likely, you’ll have some shitty 30k/yr job and live in an apartment with roommates forever and lament how life isn’t fair.
Here’s a solution. You want a degree with zero real life usefulness that doesn’t pay for shit once you graduate? Make the universities have the student pay in cash —those majors are not eligible for loans. Oh, you don’t want to study engineering, business, or natural sciences?? Too fucking bad, hippie, leave.
