I am for people choosing whatever major they want and taking on as much debt as they feel comfortable. However, that freedom comes with the responsibility of dealing with the job prospects attached to that major and the financial burden of repaying those student loans.
Many students seem to think they should be able to choose a major with poor job prospects, take on a lot of debt, and then complain to government and society to fix their unemployment and debt woes. Well, this kind of policy is what that leads to. If people want the government to insure they have a job and absolve them of their debt, they should be prepared for a world where the government also dictates what they can study.
- ThomPete 12y agoThat is exactly the problem. There is a generation of young people who grew up believing that education is a right rather a privilege and are now complaining that they spent all this time educating themselves and now there are no jobs. You would be surprised how much airtime this kind of entitlement gets in the press in Denmark. The sad truth is that education isn't what it used to be because educating one-self in a world where new information is added in ever increasing quantity is a never ending process. And so if you only think you need to really learn and study when you are at the university you couldn't be more wrong it starts in your childhood. This unfortunately is lost on most.
