I just spoke with the step-father of a 23 year-old “girl” who graduated with a BA in Visual Arts. She owes $1,300 a month in student loan repayments.
Her current job is a Healthcare Worker because no Visual Arts job pays $15 an hour. She whines that she should not be wiping bums, she should be “traveling and painting.”
Where does one begin with the nonsense that fills these heads?
It’s hard for me to imagine the number of students graduating with Liberal Arts degrees now. I don’t know what the majority will do with them because they sure can’t make a living with them. They’d be much better off finding a trade they like or at least interested in and go to a trade school, at least it’s something concrete they could do in the future.
