The real reason is that China has a huge population 4x that of the US
you mean the fact they’ve had a larger population than everyone else for the past 10,000 years? you mean that China?
The US doesn’t really have this problem, college graduates make more money but the alternative isn’t living in abject poverty or even starving; most highschool graduates do just fine.
you don’t fucking live in reality do you, Im getting a Global Environmental Science major and Im still going to probably end up homeless regardless. Do you live in a fucking suburb? Get a grip.
China may not have religious nonsense in textbooks post-genocide Cultural Revolution
Also I know with certainty that you have never actually read anything about the Cultural revolution besides shitty memes and low effort social media rage-bait.
“You mean the fact that they have had a larger population than anyone else”
Having a large population doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have the infrastructure to propagate knowledge. This is why countries like India and Nigeria are also very rapidly climbing in the ranks.
Also China didn’t exist as a continuous state for that long so claiming that it’s the “most populous country for 10,000 years” or even 1,000 years is severely misleading. Many empires were larger and more populous congruent with China’s existence as a contiguous territory.
“I’m getting a Global Environmental Science major and I’m still going to probably end up homeless.”
If I take a pottery class, does the teacher have a responsibility to ensure that I make a profit in pottery? Or are they just to teach me pottery because that’s what I wanted to learn? The fact that a degree exists does not guarantee that people will hire you for it. It’s for people that want to learn, not only for people who want a career out of it.
Additionally, if you actually care about the environment a foundational degree like physics, chemistry or engineering (or chemical engineering), is going to be both more profitable for you and grant you far greater control over the environmental impact of industrial processes. Actual environmental improvements come from developing technologies, protesting only helps implementing technologies already developed. (And you can influence industries to adopt better procedures more effectively if you already work in those industries). Just my two cents as a STEM lord who has yet to meet a more insane tree-hugger than myself.
“Do you live in a suburb”
Yes, because people who live in suburbs must be out of touch, clearly the person who is out of touch can’t be an undergrad who makes numerous false statements in a casual conversation.
If we are having a poverty competition, pretty sure I’m winning. I’ve actually been homeless/unsheltered, it’s easily survivable as long as you aren’t spending all your time strung out on heroin. (And despite what you or the other lefty fear mongers claim, filing for bankruptcy doesn’t cause you to lose shelter).

You need to grow up, kid
