> going to college to follow your dreams doing underwater basketweaving or creative writing works when you're a trust fundie and your parents will prop you up financially until you either make it or get bored of larping as a poor starving artist in a sublet commune at which point they'll throw you into a career run by a family friend using their connections. or just integrate you into the family business. yea sure that works, but we're talking about how school can be considered a scam, and that means we are basically talking about people going to school on credit/on a loan/govt handout. those are the situations where its other people's money being given to pay for a degree that cant pay back for itself. sure, people with money can go pay other people to teach them about whatever they want, recreationally or professionally.  but people with no money should not be able to demand other people's money to go to school study recreationally.  the whole student loan system and laws would all need to be revamped to ever hope of fixing this problem.
