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.

These days, a degree doesn’t even guarantee you much of an education.

I’m sure her goal was to be a top chef, which is a very competitive field to venture into. Just sinking $100 grand into a culinary education doesn’t guarantee you’ll automatically become a skilled chef and from the sound of it, she was probably expecting that to happen, and happen instantly.
