[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The educational industrial complex is alive and well in America.  Nothing new.  Many other schools use low income families as part of their social engineering posturing efforts.

How many of these kids actually graduate from these institutions of higher learning.  Most would probably have been better off pursuing a trade instead of a dead end major even if they graduate.  [/quote]

That’s not actually it. They just fleece everyone for all they are worth. These kids deserve a college education but shouldn’t be exploited with piles of debt - which of course is a big reason why the degree may not be worth it. [/quote]

No one “deserves” to go to college. It’s a privilege. And no one is forcing people to take out terrible loans.  You do what you can afford to do and attend where you can afford. Maybe that means a less selective college with a lot of scholarships, or community college first, or working part time/full time while saving for school and taking classes as you can pay for them, or joining the military and having them pay.  Plus not everyone needs to go to college.  I don’t feel bad for people that take out loans they can’t afford- when there are many, many other ways to get an higher education without them.
