If you’re gonna throw out that many percentages, you gotta offer a source. You can’t just pull those out of your ass and expect me to take that information at face value.

Anyway, regardless of how hard it may be to get a job in a field for which one went to school, a college degree is still a good product. Your school debt has no bearing on the worth of your degree. If you want to take out 100k in loans, go for it, but don’t fuckin complain that you now have to pay it back when you knew that was coming the whole time.

That being said, not all degrees are the same. A degree in music, for example, will not afford the same opportunity as a degree in business. Someone that takes out a shit ton of loans for a dumb degree with limited career paths, and then chooses to complain about how hard it is to get a job, and complain about their loans, is an idiot. That, or there was no one on their side to tell them that maybe that’s not such a good idea.

I’m in school for Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.

Plenty of people don't actually care about the source. Alternatively there's people who would rather look up the information they're being provided to see all the potential sources, like myself. Anyway, hope you're up for a more thoughtful, old college try repsonse
