Ms. Bruninga-Matteau does not blame Yavapai College for her situation but rather the "systematic defunding of higher education."

In fact, it is the systematic overfunding of higher education that has led this person to getting a degree that is worthless.

Plus her own poor choices, of course.

Choices, in her partial defence, she did not make in a vacuum.

I'm willing to gamble that at least one person indoctrinated her with 'follow your dreams, and the money will come'.
