Buyer's Remorse: High Debt and Low Pay Leave Some College Grads Rueful
So one thing i dont see is what their degrees were.  If you have a bunch of people saturating the field, then jobs will be hard to find and low paying.  If you have people getting degrees in leisure studies, they wont get a job, etc...<p>My 17 year old wants to go to trade school to be a beautician.  We live in San Antonio, there is a nail place like every 2 blocks.  After she goes to school, how is she going to do in that saturated field (hopefully well). My oldest sister got a 4 year degree in english, she graduated in 1994 and is still paying student loans.  She never planned on writing or teaching, so now she does neither, was that a good choice for a degree.<p>Point is, are the degrees people are getting in &quot;in demand&quot; fields?  Are people activily talking to students about their career paths and getting statistics if they are even in demand.  I understand chasing dreams, but be prepared for the outcome.
