Someone should have explained this to the kids changing majors, and helped them make the plan. Usually, no one does this.
In several specific cases I was referring to, the parents are quite wealthy and enablers of what occurred. I think the kids are biding their time working in bars and restaurants waiting to inherit their parents considerable wealth, though it has been diminished by probably $500K by their unfruitful educational choices. There's NFW either of the kids would ever work in the trades. They're way too high-falutin' for that.
