Present day colleges are a scam that teaches people not to have personal responsibility.

In my view those steep costs are there to guarantee the student will get through and get his or her degree. No matter how they are.
More like corrupt gov and colleges working to enslave with usury. No college debt for me, if anyone thinks this is sour grapes or something
Yes student loans are the modern day ball and chain.
Seriously. I wouldnt even pay 10 dollars to go there and learn nothing
Present day started in the early '70s then. The gubment backed loans just made them debt slaves, which is a separate but related issue that happened later.
Totally agree and not just for the reasons in the meme, but also because of the actual content that colleges teach. Almost everything they teach about personal and social problems like poverty, addiction, psychology, inequality explains them by exagerrating factors that are out of people's control ("systemic" factors), while downplaying or outright ignoring factors that are within people's control (hard work, personal responsibility, being a force for change in your personal life). If someone's life is bad, it's always society's fault, and if someone's life is good they always obtained their good life through privilege. They deny that anyone ever earned anything through hard work, or that anyone's life is shitty because of personal choices they made. It's completely disempowering because it sends the message that nothing in your life is a result of personal choice or work, everything is assumed to be imposed on you by external factors. They downright mock the concept of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
Yeah you hit the nail on the head. That's what I like about this Great Awakening forum, common sense intelligent people that write well involving a variety of different subjects.
I'm still waiting for my Computer Science degree to be worth something.
At least i didn't go into debt to get it
I got lucky and worked for government contractors.
(Or as they're called "beltway bandits" around the DC area)
My kid is in the same boat! At least she's not in debt either!
The colleges and universities of today are so far Left, they have become useless. Gender studies, etc. are not important in your major. These courses are just a means to indoctrinate, increase jobs for liberals in useless subjects, and lengthen the time spent in college, thereby increasing college revenue and student debt. When I was in college in the 1970’s you had to pay attention closely to the curriculum to graduate in 4 years. Certain courses were only offered once a year, so if you didn’t take the prerequisite, you were out of luck until the following year. That meant if you took minimum credits of 12 each semester p, your college length would easily be 5-6 years. It is designed to entrap students with loans. You have to be focused on education and not playing when you attend college. If your head isn’t in the right place, you get screwed financially.
