LOL! Even most of the comments at the Leftist Rag’s website are lambasting the “poor victim” students.

The average student takes 5 years to get a degree. They attend about 12 hours per week of classes. Only about 55 percent EVER graduate. I call BS. Grow up and get a job, you lazy slackers.

Show me a college student that doesn't have an iPhone and a pricey service plan.

Hungry? Eat your iPhone.

You did well FRiend. I graduated in 5 years and only took the student loan ONCE and paid it off within ONE year with those cash jobs. My other classmates even took 10 years to pay for theirs. Heck, I even had a couple of girlfriends which distracted me LOL but never lost my objective. My parents were stunned that I didnt have any student debt in 2 years time after graduation.

Tats, piercings or food.

The difficult decisions that face today’s college students.

It’s a right of passage! + They choose to buy beer and weed instead of eating. My frat would choose to eat grilled cheese for lunch for a couple of weeks then we had enough money to throw another party.

Otherwise they should get a job. The reason college kids go to the soup kitchens and pantries is because the food is free not because they can’t feed themselves.

I had it easy when I was a student in 1976. Back then you could get a carton of yogurt for only fifty cents.

Nowadays, yogurt at Krogers has skyrocketed to 10 for $4.00. That’s, like...

Hey, wait a minute!

(maybe should have taken a year off for work to build up their finances more).

Or two or three. That was the norm back when I went to college. Even my daughter took six years to earn a four year degree for the same reason.

Remember how the press worked to convince the sheeple that Sarah Palin was somehow stupid because it took her seven years to finish a four year degree?

Ah, the 70’s. My tuition was $220 a semester. Books were about half that.

I went to class from 8-Noon. Worked afternoons. Graduated with a degree in Sociology and never officially used it. The concepts did help 10 years later when I went into real estate.

So, goofed off until 35 playing music, mostly retired at 60, wife also retired then at 53.

And that’s why America is the greatest country in the world.

My kid has a part time job, in his field that pays $20 an hour, 401K, educational reimbursement and medical. He’s studying aerospace engineering not majoring in multiple gender studies and Frisbee.

His school has no cafeteria. Students live in on campus apartment and are responsible for their own meals. Tons cheaper

Came from the coal fields of central PA as did others in the 60’s. Got my engineering degrees on burgers and cheap coffee. Lived near PSU in the 2000’s, school was for socializing, going out expensive dinners and sex, class room study was between Tuesday and Thursday and the Marxist know nothing professors and administrators got all knowledge from sitting behind computers collecting 100k a year.

The university system needs an enema!
