I totally agree I was out the door on my own at 18 couldn’t wait to have my own place, paid my own way through college and NEVER looked back!! I will say one thing though I would NEVER have gone to college if it had put me in debt for the rest of my damn life NO WAY!! I would have worked my up through the ranks of restaurants, or grocery, or retail it doesn’t take that long to go into management in any of these industries hell in Dominos pizza they do EVERYTHING they can to put their hard workers into franchises!! These kids today have a lifetime of debt for a half assed education all they have learned is to HATE this country and be ashamed they were born white!! If I had ever had children they would NEVER had set foot into a university today NO WAY the trades pay excellent money AND they are in extremely high demand!!

College debt does NOT have to be a lifelong debt. The average college debt is a little less than $30K. That is a lot but NOT a lifelong burden.
If people would go to PLACES THEY CAN AFFORD, such as State Colleges, they would not have these huge debts. And they could PAY THOSE DEBTS OFF if they majored in subjects that have paying jobs waiting for them.
This is not a “it is too expensive” issue. This is a “I want to go to places I cannot afford and get degrees that no one wants” issue.
And who says they have to go to college? Get a job in the trades and you are set for life. And I will NOT brook “oh we were told you have to go to college” crap. Millenials had access to the ENTIRE INTERNET to help them research what does and does not pay.
