Analyzing Risk in Educational Lending
A student uses a loan to fund a degree in a highly specialized technical field. Upon graduation, they struggle to repay the loan because an unexpected technological breakthrough, which was not predicted when they started their degree, has made their skills largely obsolete. Analyze this scenario from the lender's perspective. Distinguish between the element that represents an unavoidable risk and the elements that relate to the borrower's own choices. Justify your classifications.
