Well, yes it was. That's why people ended up disappointed.
This would be true if you didn’t have loans to pay back. It’s great that you studied and learned about things but if you earn a degree in something that is not in demand and doesn’t allow you to land a decent job, you are in worse financial shape than if you never attended in the first place. >

Yep. And whos fault is that? Did the school force you to get that worthless degree? 🤔 >

I was speaking generally, not about myself. My degree is in electrical engineering. >

As was i my friend. I did not mean you specifically. >

Depends on the job. For medical fields you sure as hell need higher education. Same with engineers and architects. >


They aren't meant to prepare you for the job market. Your degree isn't there to make you money. That's why degrees such as philosophy and art are considered "useless" and "a waste of time and money" compared to economy or computer science.

Universities spend a lot of time and money marketing how much higher the median college graduate income is to attract students. Most students enter into University because they want a nice middle class (or above) lifestyle. The claim that going to college is not about job opportunities is gaslighting people, many of which have been scammed by the university system. >

If your opinion is true then college was wrongly advertised to the majority of people that went.
