Even worse when it's a 2 year degree in flipping burgers.
Who sold you that notion and are you still going to vote for them ??? You need to get an education in a field that pays $$$ !!!
I see the problem right there.
Good grief. She went $100,000.00 into debt to learn to cook? If she’s that stupid she doesn’t deserve to make big bucks.
She could have bought a cook book for $50 & saved herself a lot of money & time.
...because I'm not willing to move.
Ok, she got a culinary associates degree for 100K? Its hard to fix stupid. That degree should have cost her about $10 to $20K. This lady has a problem with spending money. I wonder if she is fat too.
Even worse when it's a 2 year degree in flipping burgers.
YOU are RESPONSIBLE for your career and class/subject matter CHOICES, young lady! Quit WHINING. Maybe you can sell YOURSELF.
She went to a overpriced 80% acceptance rate private school too!!!. Tuition and room and board tops $40 K a year. I am sure this person could have received the same degree attending public colleges/universities in CA.
OMG She acts like she is a victim, and we owe her something.
When I was her age, I’d have been working 2-3 jobs or whatever it took. Plus, I would have NEVER gotten myself into $100K debt. She probably financed her entire life while in school, without so much as a part time job, and not depriving herself of plenty of fancy electronics, salon visits, eating out, vacations, etc. Because, she felt entitled to live that way...
Spending 100k to learn how to make cupcakes is a piss poor use of your educational dollars...
A degree guarantees you a “education”.. it doesn’t guarantee you a job.
Cost Benefit analysis of your choice of education v job and earning prospects is fundamental... and few if any students in the humanities bother to do it..
Spending 100k to get a degree that will earn you 30k a year, and take 4 years of your life is only something trust fund babies should be doing.
I remember reading many years ago about a veteran in New York City who was a making over 100K as a short order cook. He got his experience as a cook in the military. You don’t need a degree to be a cook.
This girl didn’t learn her lesson with a worthless 2 year degree she couldn’t afford. She had to go and get a worthless 4 year degree, too.
A key aspect of campus claims in the 60’s was:
“Companies take our students and ENSLAVE them..!”
Yet more and more *CAMPUSES* are the ones doing exactly that.
Many times people don’t realize that the connection between the deceptive school and the collection agencies that endlessly pursue the credulous students for payments is faaaaar more intimate than commonly believed:
In many cases they own them outright.
Campus lefties will not report or protest about it cuz those are their BOSSES.
She should have watched the ten years of Chopped episodes in which it is revealed over and over again the sad lot of chefs and cooks. An education in and of itself.
Dear Alexandria,
Stupid is supposed to hurt.
Love,

She is a cook. She spent $100K for an Associates and Bachelor Degrees that despite the fancy names translates to Cook. Cooks don’t need degrees, they need to be able to produce a product that customers are willing to pay for. The degrees provides no value added. She is hosed, especially since I suspect, she can’t cook.
This is a perfect example of a person who needed to do an apprentice in several restaurant kitchens and learn how to cook.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. $100K in student loans for an ASSOCIATE’S DEGREE in culinary arts???????????????
Just wow. Wow.
And then doubled down getting a Batchelor’s Degree? Granted, that might help get a $60K job, but...ugh.
I’m 28 and I’m an idiot.
I’m 28 and I don’t have the brains god gave a cabbage.
Many people struggle to find jobs that pay $75,000 plus. She needs to find ANY job, shouldn't be hard finding a cooking job at a restaurant and maybe have to work on the weekend until she finds something else. The real problem, many don't want to work, period. And if they do, they want a $100,000 per year job to start :)
I’d like to know exactly what lucrative career she was ‘supposed’ to get from either of her degrees. Sounds like she could work at an old folks home or a hospital as a dietician but that isn’t huge money. It’s basically head cook.
She would have been better off going to a good culinary school to become a chef.
