I mean the market can even change so aggressively in the period of time it takes to get an education, that its a bit crazy to blame the students. Most are 18/19 year olds who won’t be able to accurately preduct the economical situation 4+ years from now. Like 4 years they were in elementary school, probably not tracking Nvidia’s proclivity to prediction market schemes.

Follow that example it very well could be top of the like A+ kids getting competitive software educations, but again they didn’t predict the governments gulability to ‘shiny new tech’ so now they’re left with limited opportunities (but years of increased competition).

And even nonprofit schools have the ability to do a non-insignificant amount of creative accounting that makes their financial bias an important consideration. Just the way grad students are universally treated is a great example, most do skilled, unpaid labour while being responsible for a profs emotional management. Thats obviously financial abuse, it reads like a 1950s married couple
