When something is free, its value drops precipitously as far as what one is willing to do for it.
Colleges are becoming the all-you-can-eat buffets and the "students are leaving huge plates of food for the dumpsters because they aren't actually paying for it.
In a generation college has gone from the best investment one can make to the worst. Thanks entirely to the policies of libtards. One would think that would cause quite a number of people to wonder just whose side are these libtards on?
It would seem there is a dawning awareness this is exactly what is happening with millenials. Libtards claim to be “the smart ones” but everything they touch turns to crap and young people are seeing that. It really gives me hope.
And you end up with a country whose people cannot find the skilled trades people who, though they merely work with their hands, are the only ones who can keep this so-called hi-tech society running.
The professor of “Early French Something” doesn’t realize his life is dependant on the skill of that non-English speaking auto mechanic who fixed his brakes. The Social Justice instructor can’t find a plumber to stop the leak in the cellar.
And in my trade, I sit in Massachusetts as a package arrives from Arizona because its owner can’t find anyone there to repair his ********.
I bet there will be a “COLLEGE crash” within a very few years. In plain words, in too many cases, “IT AIN’T WORTH IT”.
Major in gender studies, black studies and then expect a high paying job.
Actually it's not beyond the realm of possibility for the latter. The first wookie got a job at the university of Chicago medical school as "director of diversity" that paid $390,000 a year when the turd was first elected as a senator. After a couple of years living large in the white hut, she was no longer able to fulfill the requirements of the job (said requirements consisted of existing and showing up once a year for a few hours) so she quit. BUT rather than hire another person they got rid of the job. Pretty good work if you can get it (and apparently only black wives of incompetent black presidents qualify)
It is more obvious everyday, our only hope of killing the beast called federal government is article V convention.

Now we have another unintended consequence. A lot of these students belonged in ITT-type programs, where they would've succeeded and learned a job skill. Without those students, the technical training schools have a low graduation rate. Odd that they lose their government-loan students, but the colleges that don't train the students for anything don't.
LOLs.
I had graduate and undergraduate loans.
When I realized the ex was cheating with a 4th person, 2 years before she left me, I pulled out all the equity from the house by doing a VA loan refinance with 0% down, and paid off the undergraduate loans.
2 years later, with not enough equity in the house to cover potential closing costs, I got to keep the house in the separation agreement.
It is possible to pay student loans off quickly, if you are creative or strategic, like Ender Wiggins.
“Student” loans are just a means of sending taxpayer money to the colleges. Tuition goes up (and much faster than cost of living), student loans go up.
They cant lend to those that aren’t stupid enough to sign up for them.
It’s brilliant!! Indentured servitude for life! It’s voluntary slavery. But still slavery. Brought to you by Democrans and Republicrats.
Go TRUMP!
