i have no contradiction. my kids paid for both 5 years of College and 2 years of vocational school by first saving the money they earned doing these supposed jobs Americans won't do. they did them. they saved the money until they had enough to pay for all their future education. they still are working these "no American's will do" jobs part time. so what you keep saying is a myth. i do KNOW that personally. meanwhile, you sit up there on your elitist "higher educated" self made pillar and keep repeating the mantra that "no Americans will do these jobs". you know nothing of the semi-skilled, unskilled labor force. you've shown your ignorance on that.
i don't make those kind of choices for my kids, they decided a higher education on their own. even though i predict they will yearn for the freedom and honest work of a rancher and perhaps even return to it one day.
regardless - they paid for their tuition the old fashioned way. (and they're not illegals or children of illegals) which blows your theory out of the water.
I suspect that have little awareness of what it is like elsewhere.
