I can understand getting a degree that earns you $$$. I can also understand a retiree getting a degree in a hobby subject like Medieval French History because they find that more fun than buying a boat.

What I dont grasp is why people get a worthless degree (Early Childhood Education or Gender Studies comes to mind) with the goal of using it to earn money. The ROI is clearly negative. Are they stupid? Bad at math? Irrational? Trying to nihilistically ruin their lives through eternal debt?

Don't kid yourself. Victim status and virtue signaling can be profitable and emotionally satisfying to narcissist. The last two generations have been engineered to be self entitled and completely narcissistic. Thus the rise of SJWs and their political dogma.

Not saying everyone of those generations are encompassed. But they were certainly exposed.
