[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see it as part of a larger trend toward coddling grown adults so they don't have to be responsible adults making good on their obligations. It's along the same line as people shouting "cancel rent!" I mean, come on. It's time to grow up all the way.[/quote]

It's part of a trend in things that are affordable in the rest of the developed world becoming increasingly unaffordable here. I do love grandma telling the kids how they waited table to pay their way through undergrad with no debt [/quote]

Go look at the "affordable education" in the rest of the world. Some of it's affordable, but not accessible - the affordable colleges/universities are only available to a select few students. The US is in fact one of the few places where local community colleges provide an accessible and affordable college education. But no, most people don't want a community college degree. They are looking for a luxurious cocoon for 4 years to affirm their self-image and identity, on other people's dime. [/quote]

Or they're looking for a four year degree because that's what[b] most decent jobs require[/b]. I'd happily trade our system for one the bases the access to higher education on merit instead of money [/quote]

Citation needed. This is a baseless assertion.

It's laughable you think that merit can be measured without considering the effects of having or not having money.[/quote]

This link just indicates that higher education is linked to higher pay, it does not show that "most decent jobs require" a four-year degree. Again, citation needed, or just admit that you were wrong to make that claim. [/quote]
