College for everyone (or even college as a necessity for SOME) ALMOST made sense when there were jobs waiting for graduates.

At this point, the MORON in the WH ought to focus on JOBS so that putting ‘college’ (BY NOW the replacement for an education which did NOT take place in K-12) within the reach of everyone with a pulse.

I work at a university... there are people walking around here who can barely speak properly and cannot figure out how the elevator works, calling themselves ‘students’

Not many degrees are even worth it anymore. The tuition and everything else is so astronomical when you sit down and work the fianancials you have to question if it is even worth it.

Even being a doctor or lawyer you will rack up over $100,000 of debt. Student loans into the $150,000+ for advanced degrees is not all that uncommon.

Now 10-20 years ago, college didnt cost anywhere near this much. You could get that history degree for less than the cost of a used car. Today it’s the cost of a house. Im sort of scratching my head on why the past decade tuition costs have shot through the roof. Doesnt make sense.
