If I was looking at University now I would assume that I'd be
balancing the average student debt of 50k against my chosen course
being 7 years instead of 3 (Architecture), and therefore a total debt
load of 100k before I started working properly. An average salary for
an Architect is ~77k, which isn't bad - but that's a lot of debt to
shoulder and a significant tax burden to pay it back.

Contrast that with Fine Art BA then MA - same debt load, unsure what
the salary/earning potential would be.

Indeed. What happened to education for the sake of education? Everything is now viewed and valued only through an economic lens and, thats, like, just wrong, man.

Capitalism happened. 100k loans are nothing to sniff at when keeping a roof over yer head for life is in doubt.
