As a student myself, I concur. I know of so many students who took out loans and failed to graduate due to the fact they were working and being pressured to take too many classes per semester by their academic advisors.
One kid was working 40 hours a week, playing 50 hours of video games and attending five classes. I told him it was too much and asked: "when do you sleep?" He ended up flunking out.

What are most of the kids you know majoring in?
What do they think they are going to do with those degrees?
Granted it was a long time since I was in school but the way I see it, most are majoring in bullshit that will never amount to a solid career.

The ones that flunked out or dropped out, had been convinced to choose business management and accounting, despite many having no real interest in it.
Turns out, one of the main advisors had girlfriends in the business division and would help her friends out by steering students their way.
She would also pressure them to take many more classes per semester than they should, which caused many to fail.
