I can not count the number of college students I met while I was in college (2001-20010ish) who did not have a clear vision of how they would pay off debt and maintain a living after graduation. Following your dream, being passionate, etc were the proverbs being lived by.

Not a realistic analysis of how they would survive in non-minimum wage jobs.

It should not surprise anyone that following your dream without counting the cost results in very high costs for most people - the penniless genius and starving artist is still a proverb.
