And?
There are plenty of banks and government agencies more than willing to let a 17 year old sign up for a crushing student loan.

Most 17 year olds are incapable of making a good decision even with this information.

And, given how many parents let their kids ruin the beginning of life with mountains of student loan, apparently, many parents are also clearly incapable of making a good decision with that information.
Show them the numbers, what it costs, what it pays, and say you aren’t rich enough to study a hobby. You need to study something you can support yourself with.
They can always go off on their own and do it. At that point, they are adults and you’re done your best.
