This is where I stopped reading. Pretty much the first sentence. False advertising has been a problem for at least two decades now, mostly in Law and nothing has been done about it. People started talking about it only recently after the rich kids got affected by the false advertising; their parents spend $200k-$300k on a Law degree with a Bar test only to find out that their kids can't get a job that pays more than $50k because there's been an abundance of lawyers for about twenty years now.
Same goes for IT and all sorts of BS degrees ala marketing, communications, david beckham studies etc... besides you don't need somebody to tell you:
"Hey, save your money you don't yet have, that degree is useless! You can do that without having one."
You only need half a brain cell to figure this for yourself. It's not brain surgery and if you do need someone to tell you that, then you really do need a hard lesson.
"How are you?" "Not bad, yourself?" "Good, so I have this problem..."
"Hey, how was your weekend?" "Not bad actually, you?" "Yeah not bad"
I mean, you clearly have no interest in other person's life, so why have stupid, dull, pointless greetings like that?
And if there's no plan to pay it off, then why not just write it off? It makes no difference, the whole effect is psychological.
Compared to a pet dog who gets lost in a backyard...
Nevertheless, since I'm commenting already might as well add two more things. One thing is I get 29 days of PAID annual holiday. I've head from my US colleagues that in US you can take about a week or two of UNPAID holiday in a year.
Not to mention that women can go on maternity leave for a whole year and then come back to work without losing any rights whatsoever and also get paid 40 weeks of their maternity leave while in the US women can take up to 3 months of UNPAID maternity leave and only if they've worked for a company at least a year.
