This position would have more merit if it held equally true across all degrees. Not counting the inevitable graduates in every field that don't pan out, is it actually equally true for every degree though? Usually when I see people unable to pay their student loans it's my friends who went for the humanities or the soft sciences. The people who chose their degree by treating it as an investment they wanted as high a return as possible from generally did well.
- beej71 3y agoThere are a lot of degrees that fail to pay enough to cover the loans required to get them, e.g. teacher, speech language pathologist, etc. And that's a bummer because we need people like that. So we apply bandaids like PSLF to make those degrees viable. It's a mess.
