But, but, everyone else was doing it! ;)
The more the government “helps” - the more unaffordable college gets...
Perhaps the best example of a pandering, idiotic, non-sequitur I've ever read.
“So you took on $121,000 in debt to study woke social justice and queer theory and you’ve been unable to get a good paying job in your field of study? May I inquire how you ever thought there was a career in it? Or if you smoked that much in weed during your college years?”
Or we could take steps to make college more affordable.
RE: Or we could take steps to make college more affordable.
I’m all ears regarding any good ideas anyone might have.
The problem is tuition levels and the requirement to take useless [your favorite PC “discipline” here] Studies Classes.
As soon as the woke crowd agrees to purchase the Porsche I’ve been lusting after and give it to me, I’ll think about paying for their college debts.
(And we all know that 99.999999% of those degrees are totally worthless and have the academic credibility of an Obama speech on climate change.)
The federal government could end much of this nonsense by prohibiting student loans for “nonsense” subjects, that is, majors in subjects of low value and unlikely for graduates to ever get placement in those subjects.
Those students that wanted such degrees could still get them, but they would either pay cash, or get grants or scholarships.
My three daughters that acquired student loan debt have all paid it off. However, they either went STEM (assuming accounting can be included there).
They all got good jobs and worked hard to pay it off. One (engineer) even paid it off, got married, and became a full time mom. :)
Make Full Profs teach at least 3 useful classes each semester/quarter and cut the number of Administrators in half.
Now let’s see the charts for the cost of a Bachelor’s degree, the number of college/university staff per student and the average professor’s salary over time...
Even though I feel broke all the time, I can thank G_d that I don’t have any debts, no student loans, no mortgages, no credit cards, etc
Any plan to discharge this debt should be based on claw-back refunds from the worthless universities where it was incurred, perhaps paid for by the termination of all Marxists on staff. :)
I took 8am classes. Worked 2 to 6pm.
The author says just exactly about student debt what I've said repeatedly. The only thing she leaves out is "What pets do you have?" Pets being another expensive indulgence.
Congrats to your daughters and you!
