Well, yes but the other 90%+ just need to get a job out of college to support their addiction to food and shelter not to be a “better citizen of the world” unless they have parents to subsidize their livelihood either through direct transfers of money or by letting them stay at home.

I told both of my (step)sons that I would only help them pay for college or trade school - their choice - if they were getting a degree in something “useful”. Not philosophy, not Ancient Chinese Art History etc.

I also told them that they would have to get loans in their own names and I would help them pay off the loans once they graduated and started working gainfully.
