"It's just a system designed to keep you in debt"

Then maybe you should major in something that'll make money rather than have nothing to go for it besides you becoming a teacher for the subject?

Ugh. I mean, yes there is that. But it depends! I know people that have a nice job and they went to an affordable college working with people who got masters. I needed to go to college and grad school in order to do what I wanted. Yes it is expensive and I would like not to owe all the money I owe, but I had to do it for what I wanted. You have to choose wisely. If your career choice doesn't require a fancy degree. Don't get one. If you want to go to school anyways, well go.

You could replace 17th Century Italian Poetry with Gender Studies and get the same result.

But all the engineering kids who are jobless

Sure their major is dumb, but they’re kinda right

Idk I usually hear this "college is useless" spiel from old people in whose times you could get an awesome job just by passing high school and speaking one extra language. The future is now, old man. And it's filled with impossible requirements and crippling depression for those who don't fulfill them.

Idk where these people are from but my degree in biomedical science ( a necessary field for medical advances) does not lead to a job on its own either. Might have in the past but now you need to do honours and PhD, or a masters or some sort of post grad for it to be worth anything, an undergrad in this field is essentially as valuable as just graduating highschool despite the shit ton of knowledges you're accumulated in the end. Engineers can get away with undergrad, science degrees alone cannot. Most bachelor degrees mean nothing now
