This is the second article in two days that I have seen bewailing the plight of poor starving college ‘children’, and using about the same numbers.
Maybe if college tuitions hadn’t skyrocketed due to greed and incompetence, and the government getting into the student loan business;
Maybe if Illegal Aliens weren’t given subsidized tuitions in so many states;
Maybe if each semester at even a mediocre school didn’t cost about the same as a nice car, and a four year degree cost about the same as a nice house;
Maybe if they figured out what it was going to cost them ahead of time and either make proper preparations to meet those costs, or to set their sights lower and maybe attend a nearby community college and stay with mom and/or dad;
Or maybe become an apprentice and learn a useful trade while earning some money;
Or maybe spending the liquor, dope, piercing and tattoo budget on food and shelter instead...
“Maybe if they figured out what it was going to cost them ahead of time,” then young people would have more credit.
Problem: everyone encourages high school seniors to go to college.
Solution: stop taking the Diploma drug and start planning for financial independence in high school.
