So everybody should drop out after they first start to hear second hand info about it? And it’s their fault if they don’t or if they do but they’re on the tail end of the grapevine so it takes a few years? And that’s the system working justly? If you imagine the uncertainty and justifiable inertia involved in a realistic scenario, I don’t see how you can dismiss arguments that it’s not necessarily just the fault of kids for not doing due diligence.

Choices are: 1. continue, rack up $300,000 debt with no way to pay it off 2. change majors to something that pays Which do you think is the sensible decision? > just the fault of kids You're infantilizing them. They are adults. They can vote. They can drive cars. They can sign contracts. They can join the military and command others. They go to the big boy prison if they commit crimes. They can consult with their parents or anyone they respect. They can marry. They can have gender reassignment surgery. They can use google. Just like you and I can. They're not victims. Do you really believe they spent 6 years studying a major and had no clue what the career prospects were? I don't.

  My example was still for a law school. You've gone back to film school again.
