Agreed. There's a lot of blaming 18 year olds for taking out loans (which many of them were encouraged to take) pursuing degrees that might not earn enough to pay off (while they were encouraged to follow their heart).

The real issue is that schools are too expensive. It shouldn't be a mistake that takes a lifetime to pay back if you pursue a degree that "the marketplace" doesn't reward with a six- or seven-figure salary.
