for administrators. I was teaching a student in Women in Advanced Manufacturing who is benefitting from STEM grants. She wants to be a machinist, and those grants are paying her tuition.
Admittedly, I have mixed feelings about it, yes I want government to slash spending and not use my money for anything but government roles. But on the other hand, the benefits of educated citizens is good for everyone, and my particular student is a good example. She wants to contribute to society.
When I went to college at the local state university branch the tuition was $300 a semester. I paid it on the $1.25 per hour I was making at McDonald's. The amount of inflation in "education" costs is the scandal. The universities could charge anything they wanted and the dumb 18-year olds would borrow it and hand it over to them.
BLM and Antifa are overwhelmingly college grads pissed off that they are up to their eyeballs in student loan debt for worthless degrees that will never enable them to get out from under it or afford families.
“But on the other hand, the benefits of educated citizens is good for everyone.”
No, it isn’t. It most certainly isn’t good for the people who have to pony up the cash for it. At some point in the future this young lady may be a boon to society or she may not.
Government has no right to bet money they took from me under the threat of force on another person’s future.
