[quote=Anonymous]I went to college 33 years ago upon threat of disowning by my parents if I refused - they only offered minimal financial help and encouraged me to go into huge student loan debt. Without question it was a poor choice for me and I would be doing much better if I’d gone into a trade or done a certification program in something like dental hygiene or radiology tech or nurse’s aide with a path to employer funded educational advancement. I am grateful for the stuff my education put in my head, and wish I had been born in a social democracy where higher education is provided at minimal cost to citizens who are interested and show capacity for it. But encouraging young people to take on a mortgage for an education with uncertain returns is terrible policy.[/quote]
