Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 25, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yep....great idea paying for college that 73% don't even utilize. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/05/20/only-27-percent-of-college-grads-have-a-job-related-to-their-major/?utm_term=.95e6d1904c7c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 So you are saying that that Social Activist degree may not be worth paying for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 That’s been pretty typical for that 500 years or so. Very few people, other than the unimaginative, follow a career path that’s consistent with their education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher education is great for providing an individual with a landscape and backdrop to see the world from different angles. The alternative is going through life like racer.

J. Jackson Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 My son has a degree in Criminal Justice that cost 180k plus. His plan was to get into Homeland Security and make 90-100k a year. Medicals wiped out that idea. Started selling cars 8 yrs ago in a mid size city and moved up the corporate ladder, now is the used car manager for 4 of the stores in the group. Will make 200k+ this year. Sometimes things have a way of working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 WTF should the government pay of your student loans when the baby boomers are going to hand down 68 trillion? Maybe the government is poised to tax the shit out of it, then turn around and redistribute it for this. Don't you just love the topics in here.
