And let's also a question the destruction of the job market. It's gone into a nose dive with this new administration.

Not everything is about politics, my friend. Most people are just trying to get by. When it comes to the job market, everyone knows it’s the rich who are consuming the world’s resources — and yes, elite schools and big corporations are part of that group. Everything is about profit...

I don't know that much about politics, but I have kids in college getting ready to graduate into this absolute crap job market. I sure wish they were graduating into the job market from the last administration. I can tell you that.

If companies want to layoff anyone they can layoff anyone anytime they want to even if your kids landed a job already... what's the difference? Governments don't own the private sectors.

Suit yourself. I want the old economy back for my kids.

Amazon laying off employees, UPS, Target, Salesforce.. all corporate jobs.

No you want to look at this instead

This provides zero valuable information!

This provides the best information in terms of ROI.

lol No it doesn't.

Yes it does. It provides numbers by schools and majors with sources from loan services and IRS.
It's ran by the education department.

This! Don't go into massive debt for college, no matter the degree.
Most can attend a state U or private that gives merit for $30K/year. Kid pays $10-15K (summer job and work PT during school and work on breaks), kid takes the $5-6K fed student loans. That leaves parents with $10-15K to figure out. So $40-60K total. If you have been saving anything for college, many families can cash flow/use college savings for $10-15K per year.

merit for $30K/year...... need list of all U now .
We do have good GPA and SAT score and good ECs too with part time job 300+ volunteer hours. still not sure will get in instate
