[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does not at all factor in student loans, which can be crippling. And many young people may not find jobs in their industries close to home. [/quote]

Student loans don’t happen by accident. Despite what Biden advertises, people have agency over which schools they attend and how much they borrow. [/quote]

Nobody is entitled to whatever education they want.  You need to select a college that is affordable for you.  They do exist for everyone.

But don't take $150K in loans for any degree, but sure as hell not for some random degree where your avg salary is only $35K.  If you are smart enough for college, you are smart enough to understand that is a dumb idea.

Work and earn $40K (10/year) to pay for college, then find a school that you can afford with minimal debt.

Or don't but then don't complain when your $150K becomes $240K because you cannot make even the minimum payments and interest keeps accruing.  That is how loans work, don't take them if you don't understand that

And do you understand that many students still need to borrow money just to go to community college? I’m a teacher and my DS would’ve had to take out loans to go to CC if my dad hadn’t died and left me some money. You can save money if you don’t make enough to save. [/quote]

As long as total borrowing does not exceed 1 year’s starting salary, then sure go to college. Otherwise, do not go to college because you are making a Terrible financial decision. [/quote]

Living off minimum wage because you don’t have a degree is also a terrible decision. [/quote]
