I own up to what I've done, but I personally think the racket which is modern college needs exposed. These morons are going into fake degrees while racking up $100k in debt that they will literally never be able to pay off, it's nuts. So many parties are complicit... clueless ass HS advisors and teachers, scummy universities pushing these degrees and jacking up tuition, FAFSA doling loans out like free candy.

Boomers would tell millenals back in elementary school to go to college because people with degrees will make $1million more than people without degrees. I still remember all my boomer teachers telling me that. Even non-boomer teachers would tell us that.

The ruthless profit and demand seeking has its merits, and its pitfalls. The worst is when the government and private sector work together to produce ridiculous outcomes like this. Same goes for healthcare, if the US didn't subsidize the industry heavily with Medicare/Medicaid, prices would be far more manageable.

This shit with college started with FAFSA and state subsidization of college, basically guaranteeing a money train for universities, and they took full advantage. Prior to that private lenders wouldn't give these monkeys in Art History an easy loan.

Pretty much this. B8 aside I'm glad I waited a few years after HS to figure out what the fuck I wanted to do. You're so young and haven't even experienced anything yet that the full weight of owing thousands upon thousands of dollars for the privilege to work a job you end up hating. I have friends who went straight from HS to community college and ended up dropping out of his program he was doing fine in, because be realized he hated it. Only after he owned thousands of dollars in tuition fees though

Of course mr boomer cartoonist! Just don't take out the loan in the first place! What were these silly millennials thinking? Why didn't they just ignore their parents, their peers, their teachers, and the unspoken expectations of society as a whole and just not go to college in the first place? We don't trust children at the tender age of 18 to drink a beer, but we do trust them to make financial decisions on the order of tens of thousands of united states dollars that will cripple them financially for years to come! I'm sure you had no part in herding your own children into this did you Rick? I'm sure you can safely sit on your high horse and preach to the dumb, entitled millennials who didn't understand the concept of personal responsibility just a few years out from hitting puberty!

Youre told you'll make the money back to pay it easily after you get your degree. You're told if you don't you'll be a poor dumb loser forever who will never get ahead in life.

They do, what they usually don’t understand are the concept of “time” and “long term consequences”. I was lucky enough to spend most of my teens trying to get laid and playing video games. I payed back my student loans in full but I understand only now how much of a scam this all is.

I know everyone in your country is pessimistic because it's a shithole, so you don't have lies like "the American dream" there, so you wouldn't understand.

Basically they're told that the college degree is the key to the American dream and that the job pays for itself (sometimes it even does if you go into STEM, but they don't tell you that, they tell you any degree will get you a six-fig job)

It's their way of enslaving you early. 100k in student loans, 200k in a mortgage, 30k in a car and now you're stuck working a job you hate forever or else you lose it all, and even when you have nothing the government will still hold that loan over your head.

Thank god my parents were smart and just told me to go to a local community college. I have several High School friends that I still talk with that were thrown into huge private colleges that are 100,000+ in debt and constantly stress to me about how they'll be paying this shit off for the rest of their life.

The only thing more retarded than taking out a 100k loan for an art history degree is giving out a 100k loan for someone to get an art history degree.

Taking out a huge loan is literally easier than buying a used car at a dealership. Shits predatory as fuck and the gov/universities deserve what’s coming when the bubble pops.
