Graduating college - with a major that is in demand and directly leads to employment - is the safest way to indicate success.

Starting college and not graduating - or graduating with a useless degree - while running up student loan debt - is a recipe for financial disaster. It's actually better to just not go to college and not run up the debt

Nothing you are saying is wrong, but college graduates end up being better off than non college graduates in almost every single metric, no matter the degree.

But yes, if you go to some liberal arts College and rack up 200k in debt for a genders studies degree you are an idiot.

I think there are more of these kids out there than you think.

And it's not just expensive liberal arts colleges. Friend of ours ran up 30K of debt to graduate in 6 years with a general studies degree from Northwestern State University. She's never had a career, has basically worked jobs in fields such as day care assistant teacher and library assistant and office work, and probably has never made more than $12 an hour.

She did not choose wisely, and there are A LOT of people our there like that. For every accountant or engineer, there is someone out there like that.
