Yep. It should start in 9th grade. You may not want to fix hair or be a nurses aide or a mechanic all your life but it's work you can do as you continue your education.

I think student loans are ruining our kids. It's a right now. They used to work their way thru college. I did.

...equipped with a degree in history and $32,000 in student loans.

Paid more than that for one of my cars, and I wrote a check for it. You should have gotten an engineering degree. But, had you done that, you wouldn't know all about how the evil capitalists in the United States are racists and thwarted marxist socialism utopia. Well, go eat crap, you pathetic pink-o.

What do you want to bet that little Kenny is an only child?

Unfortunately, the recent passage of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act doesn’t portend that times are a-changin’. The act reduces interest rates on Stafford Loans and increases Pell Grant awards. Whoopty-do.

There’s no question that this is a step forward. But we’re still talking pennies and nickels when we need to completely revolutionize the government’s role in financing post-secondary education.

So you want more of MY tax money to help you pay for an education which has failed to prevent you from becoming a whiny basement-dwelling f#$ktard? lol, you fail at LIFE. I'll send you a razor blade if you promise to use it on your wrists and become an hero. Remember, down the road, not across the street.

  soon I must leave home to find work that doesn’t compromise my integrity

Yeah, it'd be a real shame to have to do an honest day's labor for an honest day's pay.

I wonder what his DU name is.

Forget trying to improve your country, or yourself. You’ve got bills to pay, young man.

That's a relief, the last thing we need are more socialist do-gooders, I love it when a liberal is mugged by reality. Why couldn't he go to a cheap junior college to begin with? Why did he need to spen $30,000+ to get a degree at Dummy U. ?

Maybe .... In one way I can understand. I am not a Monday-Friday 9-5 person either. I suggest he join the military. His schedule will vary, and he can travel the world and learn a trade that he can make a living at and get a steady paycheck every 2 weeks. (all the things he said he wants:’)

[Marie]

I need somebody to clean up power plants ... at 15.00 - 20.00 per hour.

Give me your location.

What did the history major say to the engineer?

“Would you like fries with that?”

[Porterville]

32,000 in debt? I wish.

I have peices of debt like that in my stool.

[Marie]

He could (*gasp!*) join the military and let the army pay off his debts.

Oh, that's awesome!

[Cementjungle]

Suddenly, living at home didn’t seem nearly as degrading as selling out.

Getting a job is "selling out"?

This guy is the poster boy for Hillary's "New Direction".

[JmyBryan]

Believe it or not, he actually was capable of keeping a job. He’s one of the best and the brightest ...

[utherdoul]

That’s why you go into community college and work on the weekends and the busy season you little wuss.

btw is there any demand for people with bussiness management skills? If there isn’t I’d better switch my major quick.

[armymarinemom]

This guys sure does get around for someone who is living with Mom and Dad.

"I’ll take my history major, my debt and my mom’s cooking ..."

Ken, you're a pussy.
