Will: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in 50 years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One, don't do that. And two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on an education you could of got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library.
Clark: Yeah, but I will have a degree. And you'll be servin' my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip.
Unfortunately, I think that more and more liberal arts majors/grads are coming to this realization. It's become increasingly obvious that the degree is not worth the debt. Been to Starbucks lately? 9/10 of the employees there have a degree.
(And in an ironic twist, the guy with the degree won't be the one going on a skiing trip; he'll be the one serving fries.)
Obviously not.. it's just a movie. The point is that a liberal arts degree might not be worth going into serious debt for, especially when you can get 90% of the same information for free at the library.
That's not to say that liberal arts degrees are "useless"; far from it. But not everyone has 30k+ lying around to indulge in a degree just for fun.
