The schools need to be held responsible for overcharging and providing, in the majority of cases, degrees which do not provide sufficient value (putting it nicely). It really pisses me off to see kids being irresponsible and taking out loans they can’t afford and having a nice leisurely time getting through school, if at all in ~six years, at least for the 40% of kids that graduate. Most of the schools already receive government funding - so this is total BS.
I didn’t graduate until I was 29 because I had to work a full time job to support myself and get classes at night when they were available. Obviously, that’s easier now with online classes. We’ve saved up for my kids since they were born. Luckily my daughter is finishing in three years so that’s saving us some dough.
As usual, the irresponsible slackers/losers get off the hook so the rest of us can pay. Meanwhile, we will have to cover the costs for all of the illegals, their medical, food, housing, and higher education costs.
I just put 3 kids through college. We paid for them, so they would graduate with no debt. Told them they get 4 years of free ride, anything extra was on them. Only had to pay for 1 extra class. The degrees were all business-related and from right of center schools (both state schools). 2 semesters left and they've been paid for. We planned for this and it wasn't a hit.
Now do the idiot who spent 200k to get a degree in pre-Columbian gender studies...

They were just hired by a Fortune 500's inclusivity department. Kek.
