“71% of black high school graduates have enrolled in college compared to only 67% of white high school graduates. “
Wow, that’s actually pretty surprising.
Given the lower high school graduation rate and the open-door policies (automatic acceptance of black students), it really isn’t. Whites are expected to pay full freight, and many are questioning the value of the college degree anyway.
Many young blacks attribute the success of whites to “college”, without understanding the real workings (needing a degree that is in demand, actually learning the subject matter, etc.); they think (as many whites did) that going to college is an automatic ticket into the middle class. Unfortunately, it isn’t; in my experience, a college degree in the hands of a “preferred minority” is the equivalent of a high school diploma in the hands of a real student.
I was talking to an African-American man at work about our struggles to pay college tuition bills. I knew he also had college aged children.
He seemed surprised that I had to shell out so much to send my children through school. His response was that his kid's tuition was all "paid for by the colleges, I hardly pay a dime."

Wow, that’s actually pretty surprising.”
Maybe more of the white high-school students are savvy enough to realize that their lifetime earnings will very likely be higher with a two-year computer science degree or becoming and apprentice electrician or plumber than spending lots of money on some of the many worthless degrees that the colleges have invented.
Can anyone give the stats of colleges with the highest percentage of unpaid college loans?
Seems I remember hearing somewhere the top ones are eAA.
Beauty “college”.
Yep surprising since more than half shouldn’t be in college.
