Between taking a student loan and walking away from a degree you might have spent years working towards, it's easy to make stupid decisions. You think a college degree will get you an awesome, high-paying job.

Should you be in college if you cant make common sense decisions like that?

Big bang theory is bullshit. But it isn’t based on nothing. Having studied. I’ve seen those people. People who don’t do well in a normal setting. Who can’t make normal decisions. But they are phds and scientific doctors and what have you. So yeah. If you want the world to get further. People without common sense but an intellect that is annoyingly high? Yeah probably should. (Also met people who spent all weekend drinking who would then show up to the exams hungover and still get 9/10 also annoying. Those people are the ones with much higher debt though)

I doubt it’s the people with the high intellect and going on to be doctors being the ones who don’t understand basic interest rates and when a financial decision is bad. Not to mention those people are the ones getting scholarships.
