Yeah but a degree is not a get-out-of-shit-job-free card... We all have to take what the market offers, or get creative, start a business, etc.

And it's not like people without degrees don't put effort into improving their skills.

As long as the majority of people can just forget unpleasant jobs exists and leave them to the less fortunate, the incentive to make them less shitty is weak.

But when you're choosing your potential college paths as a 16 year old child, how exactly are you supposed to make a solid prediction of the job market in 7 years?

Normalize being able to fuck around enjoying life in your teens and 20s and not needing to make serious life changing decisions until you're ready. We live too long to rush things and too short to spend it miserable and regretful.
