Yup

Also, if someone is set on college, these are questions they should be asking:

- What are the available jobs for this degree, and will the education still be relevant in the field a few years from now? When the IT field was rapidly progressing, I was hearing about how programming classes were still using outdated languages, for example

- what sort of reputation does the college have for your field of interest? Some colleges have a great reputation for a particular field and a bad reputation in others

- When considering what the field of work will be like, is this based off what the college is telling you or what you read online, or are you actually going to the businesses and agencies in the field and asking what they are looking for from their employees? Are you asking employees what working there is like?

- How far out is the break even point where based on your expected income you can expect to have paid off your student loan and begin making profits?


If someone covers these bases even paying overpriced college tuition they should be ok. If they don’t that’s on them. They’re grown ass adults who made a bad decision with their money. If I decide to drop $50k in a Vegas casino I can’t expect to go crying to daddy Government to pay them

Lastly, are you an emotionally-functionable professional? There are as many people at my work who have gotten fired not because they were unqualified or cut corners, but because they could not work with other people without blowing up on their boss or co-workers because they had the emotional intelligence of a 14 year old. This is also on you to fix, not daddy government. “I can’t pay off my student loans because I can’t maintain a job” doesn’t always mean “I picked the wrong degree”

So you're saying no Gender Studies degree. Got it.
