It's not bemusing if those people took on debt.

For someone going to college, there are no excuses for not checking starting salaries with google before making a huge commitment.

Heck, in the 70s when I went to college, long before google, everyone knew what starting salaries were for the various majors (at the time, Chemical Engineering was the highest paying). Everyone also knew that an Astronomy degree meant unemployment.

random, but I recall seeing a graph a while ago of average starting salaries of engineering salaries and chemical was still on top.
