Who else is responsible for their choice? They make the choice, nobody else. That 100K check doesn't force them to choose a particular degree.
I wish we had mandatory annual counseling for students that would inform them of the market demands. But again, at 18 you can just Google that info in 30 seconds.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThe voters who vote for politicians to lend teenagers $100k+ with zero underwriting.
- AlwaysRock 5y agoWell we wont let those same people buy booze or rent a car so we clearly don't think they are responsible enough to make those big decisions. If we are already deciding what people under the age of 21 can do we should probably add giving someone a unforgivable loan that could put them in debt for life to that list. Also I'd argue that googling for 30 seconds to determine your future career is just as stupid as taking a check and figuring it out as you go.
