I wanted to find an affordable way to complete my undergraduate degree so I could start on the path to medical school.
Without writing a novel, here's a multi-part (for easy reading) response to your post/question:
*I'm definitely not an activist and don't think colleges should be held accountable for whether or not someone is employable (TLDR; going by your post). I'm not raging against the machine, just chasing contentment.
*I think people have a right to be informed about agreements by which they are entering into but it's also *up to them* to make sure they understand it.
*We seem to be living in a time where some in society favor stripping away individual accountability and replacing it with victimhood. Nothing worth anything comes easy. Using nature as an example, I would posit that by giving people an excuse to opt-out of adversity (see: trading accountability for victimhood) only serves to weaken those opting-out. In other words, life is tough and everyone struggles - learn what you can learn and make the most of your cosmically short time.
*I definitely don't see myself as a white knight, just someone who has paid-forward the stuff I've learned here. There's nothing heroic about passing along information, let alone information I didn't research, IMO.
