What a load of crap. No one needed to take on a massive amount of debt to get a degree. They chose to do so in order to feed their desire and not their need.

I don’t have a problem with the debt. I have a problem with the degree that put them in debt. If you are going into the hole for 50k plus, at least get a degree in engineering or some other field where you can start a life. French literature is not a degree. It’s a hobby.
Back in the days before high schoolers were able to get a year of college under their belts through AP classes, we entered college with 0 hours and managed to graduate with a full degree in 3 years with p/t jobs and no debt. Kids today can enter college as Sophomores and still can’t manage to graduate for 5-6 years. They think they can’t live in lowly dorms but need expensive off campus apartments and whine they have no time for p/t jobs. It’s no wonder they have debt.
