I hope they picked a field with high demand, like medical something. Otherwise they're gonna be grinding a 9-5 and be $300k in debt forever.

Don't mind me playing classical music on a lantern that makes a little fake fire out of water vapor and sipping on my herbal tea all night making a little more than a living wage with 2 years of college just to be present and awake in case a person wakes up and chooses violence.
