[quote=Anonymous]I think college is overrated.  First of all, not all colleges provide the same level of education.  Sometimes, you go to work and you can rise up.  A lot of successful people did not grad from college, did not go to college, grad from community college and/or are not actually using their degrees they grad with.

There's a difference between going to UVA and a no name small college that nobody's ever heard of that is somewhere nobody knows about.  It's not that everyone is also a good fit for college.  There are also trades you can choose from a career perspective.  There's a lot of options.  Own your own business - basically if you're good at sales, you will succeed in busdev.

The thing about providing all these funds is it puts forth this myth of - work hard, go to college, get a degree, be really successful and live the American dream of buying a house and having 2.5 kids.  Sorry, those days are over.

I'm not really saying there should be no aid but that the aid has to make sense, there has to be very clear ambition/understanding of why you're choosing to apply to college and it's time to reform the entire FA process anyway.  Is Trump right for doing it this brutal way of just taking it all away at once?  Probably not.  But just saying - it's not like this is some nutjob concept.  It's time we look at how our society functions cause it's broken in so many ways![/quote]
