So:
* Get degree
* Struggle to find steady/career employment in a job market still rippling from a massive recession
* Decide the best ROI is to go back to school for a Master's in Comparative Literature
While I'm totally cognizant of the systematic and pervasive failures of the modern college lending system... I don't think the system is totally to blame for this one.
Four years of college AND working experience and you still can't make a basic CBA for how you spend your time?

- strikelaserclaw 7y agoI believe in personal responsibility as much as the next guy, but my generation (i'm about 29) was heavily taught two things by our parents 1)Having a degree is better than not having a degree and 2) You should pursue your interests and passions above all. I am thankful that i became interested in computers at a young age and make a decent living but that guy could have totally been me if i had been interested in something unemployable. Mental models that we are taught about the world growing up have a huge influence on our behaviors as we venture out into the real world. This guy might have doubled down on his "follow your passions" by getting a unemployable masters degree.
