Many Americans Feel Cheated by Their Student Loans

I never heard that from teachers, school counselors, or anybody in the educational system. In fact I heard the opposite: basically "go to college for something (anything) or you'll flip burgers for a living."

I also never heard that, not once.

The entirety of the pro-education message I received all through my youth and schooling was, "get a degree, it doesn't matter what in, and you'll get a white-collar office job."

That's it.

My parents weren't of the socio-economic class to give me any more detailed information, either. They didn't know better, no one else said better, and I know my experience is common among my peers.

I heard it pretty constantly, over the whole college experience actually. It just seems irresponsible not too.
