[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up blue collar. I was the first in my family to graduate from a four-year university. I had to take out student loans to attend college. That was in the late 1980s. Since then, the cost of attending the university I graduated from has ballooned to an eye-popping price. I could not afford to attend now. You sound very coddled, OP. People are weighing the benefits of going into staggering debt vis-a-vis the benefits of doing so. Why take out $100k in student loans when you can become a plumber and instantly earn $150k/year and only need affordable training and certifications? And your work can never be outsourced? And there is a lot of work to be had, because the college educated cannot even tighten the screws on a door knob?[/quote] Me too. Thank goodness I was able to afford college back then and pay off the loans. [/quote]
