Educational system not being held accountable for their False Advertising.

Ultra Annoyed

Why is it that regular businesses get sued for making promises they don’t deliver on, yet we can’t demand a refund for a degree when it doesn’t lead to a job?

I grew up being told (basically brainwashed) that if you earn your degree, you’ll find work in your field. So where’s the job I was promised? Why can’t I walk back into my university, call them out, and ask for my $100K back? How is this not standard practice? How are we letting an entire education system get away with selling a dream that doesn’t match reality?

A hundred grand later and the only CS-related work we can land is fucking technicians at Verizon. What a sick joke.
