But we might not go so far as to call the entire college institution a "scam" over it.
Enraged Tiktoker @fitnesswithallison has, however, after graduating with her degree in business and marketing, which put her over $80,000 in debt.
To pay off that debt, the TikToker would realistically need a job that pays $100,000 or more per year, but these positions are not hiring people who do not have the matching experience.
Yelling from her car, Allison argued:
"But the school was the experience!"
The TikToker felt she had been fooled into thinking that a college degree was what would make her successful in life, and she'd been taught to think that putting herself into so much debt would lead to an immediate payoff in the form of a high-paying job.
But it was clear that college culture had failed Allison in the same way that it has fooled hundreds of thousands of other college graduates since the early 2000s.
You can watch the video here:
Fellow TikTokers were deeply divided over this subject, with some completely understanding why Allison felt this way and others viewing this as a great example as to why she hasn't been hired yet.
Some empathized and shared their own stories of struggling financially after college.

But others found the TikToker to be incredibly entitled for believing she didn't need to pay her dues.

Since posting this video, Alison has posted several follow-up videos about the hardships of job hunting, applying for jobs, and then getting rejected for those positions.
But then one day she shared a video in which she was able to walk away from the position she hated as a server, and she's since been growing her business as a fitness coach on social media.
Because of that expensive background in marketing, we're sure there's hope for her success.
