You're gonna be able to easily get these kids to lock into all kinds of financing structures in the future.

I think it's just the opposite. Kids who've grown up with this crap will be wise to the tricks. Those who don't get exposed until adulthood have no resistance. Just like how the younger generation is pretty good at using social media responsibly and prioritizing stronger relationships, whereas the older generation get hooked and spend their whole lives yelling in newspaper comment sections.

I legitimately can't tell if this comment is meant to be ironic or not.

Huh? The younger generation lives with their phones attached to their face. They don’t prioritize actual relationships.

Like a five (or even six) figure unsecured and non-discharhable loan given to fresh 18-year-olds for education that often has no market value?

No, people who took those are just morons.

I'll leave it up to the finance people to come up with interesting instruments to take advantage of these kids. Maybe their bank accounts will just become money market accounts that are tied to leveraged ETFs.

I think abstracting away their real life money into a crypto that is worth 1/10th of the dollar is a good way to go. Make that crypto the exclusive currency for their habits (games, social media) so they have no choice but to convert to it. Easy way to part them from their real earnings that way.

There's easy money here if you are ruthless. If you print your own crypto for their habits, you can effectively act like the US Fed. Just inflate away the value of their coins every time. It's a no brainer.

It's been a meme for a long time that certain majors have little economic value, the entire liberal arts major joke is just one example of this. People make fun of things like underwater basket weaving (and not majors like engineering) for a reason. If someone didn't know the worth of their major and the resultant job prospects, then that's really on them.
