‘’Just specific careers. Law, medicine, etc. ‘’

Those degrees cost around $300,000 just for the schooling.

Who has that to start with?

After school, there are hefty costs in certain career paths such as medicine where you have to pay $50k-$100k insurance after residency to pay for any suits that could occur as a result of something you did in your residency.

There’s too much chest thumping on this thread by old timers who just have not paid attention to the sky rocketing costs of education.

The problem is the gov’t subsidization first. That needs to be fixed.

The students are literally too young to know any better. That is why socialism is appealing to them.

It is up to us to eliminate the easy money. Forget the chest thumping and pummeling of the young people.

Understood. The problem is that too many students are in college who have no business being in college. College should be reserved only for those serious students with the mental capacity and discipline to achieve the higher learning. That would eliminate all of the nonsense degrees and the extensive leisure time that the little buttercups have to sit around and think about their victimhood. Also, there are many different careers associated with law and medicine that are not that expensive. Nursing, physical therapy, etc.
