I think they realized they weren't going to make as much money, but I don't think they realized they would be poor. Poor people generally have less privacy, less dignity, and a harder life. So, maybe they are frustrated there weren't enough safeguards to prevent them from making a decision that lead to them becoming poor.

- rootusrootus 4y agoIs this another way of saying we need to raise the age of majority to something like 25? At some point we have to accept that people are capable of making decisions for themselves and living with the consequences. We don't have to collectively accept blame when they make ill-advised choices. An adult can do research before choosing to go to college, choosing a degree path, choosing to finance it with debt. I have already had versions of this conversation with my own daughter, who is now 12. We've talked about college, when it makes sense, when it may not, and how to make that decision based on life goals. She's plenty smart enough to understand that she doesn't need a career goal at her age, and that even when she becomes an adult it might change, but what she won't be doing is blindly wandering into college with a random hope of success at the other side.
