because i can't put 100% of effort into both, also to this and the quoted part above, i'm most of the way through a BS in applied mathematics but i'm super disillusioned with the whole go to college -> get a job making someone else rich -> die scenario
I've seen various documentaries and other sources talking about how in the US, basically colleges fees are reaching record highs, they are taking more students than ever, handing out degrees for anything and everything, and at the end the job market is so poor that there's hardly any real work you can get in your field and you end up having to take some crap job totally unrelated to your qualifications, and a couple hundred grand in student debt to make things worse.

Is it really that bad?
