What qualifies as a "wrong profession or the wrong degree program"?
One you cannot find a job in when you graduate.
Oh, and what kind of living wage would that earn?
I don't know. I never finished my degree and I make low 6 figures.
Why shouldn't elementary teachers a great living, a real living wage, that would allow them to pay back their student loans? Elementary education are the most important years of a baby's life; those years set the stage for future failure or success. Knowing this, it would make sense that elementary teachers are paid very well because they are the ones gearing a baby towards the types of professions and degrees I believe you find worth it to put $100,000 of student loans towards
I never said they shouldn't. I was going on the reality of the situation as it stands know. I live in the real world, not a place where the world is as I wish it was. And yes, most teachers don't earn jack and should earn a lot more. It is ridiculous that we give professional athletes multi-million dollar salaries and pay teachers so little. But that is the world we live in right now. I hope it changes to a more realistic view at some point in the future. Maybe if the unions weren't so bloated and top heavy, the teachers would earn more.
