Two-thirds of employees report regrets about their advanced degrees, as Americans question the high cost of higher education.
Student loan debt has ballooned to nearly $1.6 trillion nationwide in 2019, topping the list of regrets for employees.
Science, technology, engineering or math majors, who are more likely to enjoy higher salaries, were least likely to report regrets,
while those in the humanities were most likely. [

Lol... imagine that.
Now we know why they don't want to pay back their tuition
Because they have zero skills to earn the money to do so.
Scrump, I want you to consider one thing before you castigate these educated idiots too awful much. Foremost, we've been pushing "go to college" for the last 30 years. And for most of that time, we've been telling people "get a degree, any degree!"
Do I regret my degrees? Nope. Chemistry, pretty much useless without a PhD. Paramedic and Fire Science, nope. Had a good career. AAS in electronics, nope. Made money with that too. Carpentry and Electric in high school. Nope. Still make money with those.
Moreover, consider the vo-techs. They've been gutted! Carved up and destroyed. And we've got little con artists like that kid on "engineered truth" on Youtube telling ever kid in America, "STEM bad, digital marketing make you rich! You wan' be rich like me! Surround by big titties! Forget engineering!"
So, I'll be the first to say, no kid in the last five to eight years has much of an excuse if they chose "Gender-Ethno-Studies" but the truth is, they're still lead down the primrose path by public educators and expected to make sound career decisions at eighteen.
Granted, I was a paramedic at 22, but I sure wasn't ready for that burden. That said, I agree with you, with caveats. They have no skills because we don't teach them.
