Colleges anyway are just a big scam now and kids are told plain lies about it.
I respectfully disagree. Colleges themselves are not always a scam. College administrations are a bloated overpaid scam. I looked up some examples from the local to me University of North Texas.
President makes $505,000/year. I would do that job at half that salary.
Some of the administrative jobs are: Director: Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance program; Sr. Associate Vice President for University Brand Strategy and Communications???
Fortunately the Texas legislature passed and the governor signed into law, a bill outlawing all DEI offices and programs in all state colleges and universities.
However among the 114 degrees one can study are:
Consumer Experience Management program
English as a Second Language Master's degree
Ethnomusicology Master's
Event and Tourism Management degree
Furnishings and Decor Merchandising degree
GeoPhoto: Imaging Technology and Visualization degree
LGBTQ Studies Minor
Sport Entertainment Management Degree
Body, Place, and Identity History Ph.D.
These seem to be scams.
I hardly think that any of these degrees will get you a job paying enough to pay back your six figure loans! Most of the other 114 degrees are legitimate.
