What we need is less College and University nonsense and more TRADE SCHOOLS in real world jobs.

Welders
Electricians
pipefitters
Plumbers (nasty but the money is GREAT)
Diesel and auto mechanics
Heavy equipment operators
heavy truck drivers
Machine operators (late and Computer drills and punches
Tool and die makers.

And many many more.

Sounds like another opportunity on the horizon for the Fed to bail out, and enrich bankers with money borrowed from future taxpayers. The borrowers, of course, will be left buried in debt forever. Banks will be more than happy to loan more money at lower interest rates to new students who get into the stimulus program before the next big bubble pops.

If I was younger, I’d go after one of these jobs.
It’d be more fun that most white collar jobs.

Since I have been paying attention, leftists in colleges always try to put useful departments of study out of business so they have more money for brain washing.

Many of those over 60 are parents who took out loans with their kids. It would definitely be frustrating to be retirement age and paying on the debt supposedly to start your child off in life.

To what degree is college tuition inflated by cost-shifting in the form of lower tuition for minorities?

It’s not lower tuition. It’s “scholarships.”

Oh come now, what could be more enjoyable than staring at a computer monitor in your office 10 hours a day?

Most do not have a clue in hell about how the real world works. Most don’t have walking around sense. Future disability recipients more than likely.
