    If you get a college degree and don’t make above median income it is 100% due to your own choices. I don’t believe that many of those jobs should pay so little, especially with regard to shit like social work, teaching, and other publicly funded institutions, but a college degree is a gateway to wealth full stop.

    I am pro-loan-forgiveness and believe public university attendance should be free, but it’s undeniable that a college degree is currently worth the investment the vast majority of the time.

    FWIW I have a degree in English/secondary education and was a teacher before I quit to make more money, which I will be forever angry about.

    The system needing to change does not change reality.
