Now you're probably like "You're a philosophy major Cab, you should know even though lib arts is easy there is no job market!" that's a delusion that people have that think more effort = greater rewards in a pro-profit setting such as a college institution.
My B.S in philosophy has the same weight and worth as every other degree upon graduation, it's absolutely worthless. I walk out of the institution with $60,000 dollars indebted to the government in the form of unsubsidized loans, with no job nor career... I essentially bought a metaphorical house and a car due to that debt level. with nothing in return but spending all day on monster.com it doesn't matter if my degree is in philosophy or mathematics I'm still being crushed by unemployment and debt
Somehow through all this people decide that nursing degrees are the go-to degree for instantaneous employment just like IT was the go-to in the early 90's, and it's always touted that you can make $75,000 or more as a RN, which all those statistics are coming from New York, or California where the cost of living is through the roof! For the most part they start nurses off making $17.50 an hour which isn't that much considering people that pave the highways make equal if not more with ZERO debt from college.
But people are lured by constant employment, and totally ignore the fact that they are $120,000 in debt if deciding to pursue a masters. It's also a career that totally assumes the availability of baby boomers increasing hospital revenue for constant employment...
It sure would be a shame for all those majors if SSI went bankrupt, and the cost of medical care was beyond the means of the average American because I could only foresee massive layoffs as hospitals downsize their staff
