My eldest son is 20 and when he and his buddies were considering life beyond High School I always told them to take Trade School into serious consideration. You become a licensed electrician, plumber, HVAC, welder... they can make very good money, acquire far less debt, start working earlier. Someone is always hiring, or put out your own shingle and get guys working for you. Plenty of money to be made in the trades (If not more than a BA might get you) and your skills will be very marketable.
My wife has 2 nephews in their late 40’s/early 50’s.
Their Dad is a world class auto mechanic and has retrofitted older cars and then sold them at great prices.
They asked me about college after they finished high school, and their mechanical ability and love of cars is like their Dad’s.
I told them why waste 5 years and get big debts, when they could qualify as car guys doing something they like to do.
20+ years later, they own their own business and contract with car dealers to handle unique problems when they want to work, where and able to say “No Thank You”!
They would have been miserable going to college.
Both fun movies. I usually watch them again when they come on TV, even though I have them pretty well memorized.
Since tomorrow's "Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day...
I hate Illinois Nazis Nazis that bombed Pearl Harbor!

since we're dealing with multiple movies here... :-)
frankly if the schools admitted the marginals, then they should pay the student loans on the marginals.
You can learn most things in a month or less for cubicle life.
Engineering and medical take longer of course.
Good point.
All my science and math courses were “cull” courses.
