In this case it's because you spend a bunch of money you need to pay back and that burden is legitimately useless when you can use the internet to educate yourself for as little as 20 dollars a month. Also our entire economic system is based off of profit motives so it follows people would find that important in their lives.
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoCan anything really be learned online for $20 (or whatever cheap figure you want to put here)? What about artisan crafts? The arts? I wonder what we’re losing as a society by placing all the focus on careers that one can qualify into as cheaply as possible, and which earn the most money.
- westmeal 3y agoUnfortunately people need money to survive so of course there will be focus on careers which earn them money. There are also numerous free resources and even college courses online for free if you'd like to know more about a given topic. Arts and crafts don't really pay the bills either. There are of course creators who sell their artwork or crafts on marketplaces like Etsy but that's not really the same thing as a day job where you make 50k a year. I understand where you're going with this but reality is a bitch and people are forced to adapt.
