    Basically he’s saying “Sorry Poor’s, you don’t get to follow your dreams.”

    Exactly! That sort of logic is also applied to anyone who gets a non-moneymaking degree. “Oh you got your degree in [anything other then STEM™️ or Business] good luck getting a job loser”, is a narrative that runs so damn rampant in our culture. It sucks so much. Katz should be able to get their degree/certification/whatever without being sent to debtor’s prison.

      You can get a STEM degree from a state school, or a private institution. Often the private institution is more prestigious, (e.g. Harvard, MIT) but there are plenty of state schools with good reps (Cal Poly).
