I don't understand why students choose to take on thousands in debt for a degree they know isn't lucrative in the slightest. Why would you subject yourself to that?

They talk to guidance councilors..... You know, the folks who couldn't find a job elsewhere other than a school campus; not always true though, there are a few good ones, but like all professions, they're are many to most just collecting a check.

On that note though, any degree shows a 'can stick with it', which can be valuable to help employers decide when an potential employee, possibly lacking some 'paper credentials', but showing absolute promise for the particular job.

Usually, because they're lazy. They pick the easiest degrees to get. Note the more difficult degrees in engineering or medical have no shortage of jobs.
