“No. Because rent is $800/month and they owe $60,000 in student loans and they jobs available are minimum wage jobs”
They owe $60k because they take out loan money for far more than tuition and books. They also use their loan money for personal expenses, beer, dope, pizzas, you get the idea. If these people would work while attending college, maybe attend community college for their freshman and sophomore years, double or triple up on apt expenses, etc, they could graduate from college with little if any debt. But, they think they’re entitled to free miney and have no intention of ever paying their loans back. Screw’em.
No. There are some college kids who have spent the money badly, but not many. When college is $40,000 or more, that means they somehow came up with $25,000 of that on their own every year. That implies that they are working more than you think they are.
It’s a reality that the idea of getting a diploma before being allowed to work is past it’s prime and is not working anymore. We need to figure out how to bring back on the job training and improving the high school diploma so that a graduate is really ready to work.
