Its now getting to scam levels. Boomers administrators are so greedy robbing from their kids and grandkids.
It's disgusting.
Boomers had their own struggles when inflation was high before. And all through deindustrialization in the late 70s/80s.
Making 6 figures stapling paperwork and fear mongering people who haven't attended college
@@yvonneplant9434 With all the "downsizing, restructuring, offshoring, outsourcing" of industry, Boomers figured out a way to succeed in life _cough, cough_ landlordism/landladyism _cough, cough._
The US Government needs to stop giving loans and grants to students under the age of 25. This will drive the costs of attending higher education down. Colleges and universities know that they can charge whatever price they want for tuition if the government is paying for it.
Agreed. Stop giving grants/loans anyways.
Yep. But it is all by plan. Making people dependent on the govt is part of the goal.
Why?
Another reason to not go into college there are just many other ways to be successful.
You still need training in something.
@@yvonneplant9434 Not everyone wants a career or cares about one.
People don't know where to even start though
@@yvonneplant9434 True, in STEM or though technical colleges, trade schools, community colleges. Not lib arts and humanities at elite private universities.
College is great to pursue graduate/professional training. But for most students, acquiring a trade or certification is a better alternative. Training at a JC in computers, HVAC, auto repair, fire science, cosmetology, and other services is preferable to earning a BA/BS in something impractical, becoming indebted, and never getting a good job.
Great for current students. Bad for former students. Who pays for this bill?
Why do people act like going to a college is a life requirement, like breathing and drinking water? You don't have to go to college you know.
Peer/societal pressure
Maybe because more jobs are requiring degrees nowadays compared to before? Have employers drop the college degree requirement and less people will go to school.
Most white collar entry levels jobs now require bachelor's degree. And some blue collar jobs too.
@@bleachfan48 I hear ya. Personally, I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about me, parents included. I don't owe anyone anything.
@@rickyayy Which is ridiculously dumb.
City rules vs rural areas are different
Each Semester my kids needed to pay $1,000.00. in sports fee. Sports they never participated in or belonged to. That's $8,000.00 wasted on two kids. for 4 years of college. College is a scam. It's better to take that money and invest in a home or a trade. Plus if you have a federal loan. They will take money from their Social Security to pay off the loan. Then still go after the kid.
Your choice
@@user-fh2of1yw4b ROTFLMAO! Nope. Not my choice.
No that college you went to is a scam
It's not always worth it. Debt is just too great and you're not guaranteed a job.
Some college grads make very little, too, and they are stuck with debt. Everyone has the right to decide what is best for them, in the end, though.
We just went to an Admitted students meet just for a couple of hours. There were more people from the college than students. BTW, we came out with not much information from the whole meet-up. As soon as I stepped in, I was surprised to see so many people with stands and you there there are handing out flyers.
College grads make 67% more than high school grads according to Dept of Labor statistics, students entering college simply have to avoid the debt trap by selecting colleges carefully and using strategy such as 1st 2 yrs in community college, etc.
Private schools are like usc caltech etc
It’s a double edged sword! They drive up the cost to a ridiculous amount because they know that the government will pick up the tab. Yet, the person who is pursuing the degree may or may not graduate and still has to pay that ridiculous amount back. Some students graduate with so much debt that it takes them a lifetime to pay it back.
Most of the time instructors are not even instructing. Instead, the classes are "flipped" where students are told to read and watch videos before class, which is fine, but the instructors rarely help students understand the material and only assign group activities where students attempt to teach each other. Before class ends the instructor may or may not go over the answers with them. Overall it's a useless and frustrating experience with the blind leading the blind.
The biggest expense? 00:58 Her salary is the correct answer
Universities are just a business. No reason to have so many for profit universities. USC should close.
Don’t see the problem
Minimum Wage $20/hour
Why wastes time n owe student loan $$$
✌✌
If we can giver 1000 billions to Ukraine and Israel then why not relieve student loan at home
Why not be responsible and pay for the loan you signed for...I did
@@user-fh2of1yw4bYou missed their point
@@simonstevenson6686 NO, they didn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@PeggyJoseph Yes they did
Some of them should be going to trade school anyhow.
Don't worry...Brandon will bail you out...against the ruling of the Supreme Court
Do you have to drag politics into everything?
@@nickbarcheck1019 IF IT RELATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgiving student loans allows more doctors, engineers, nurses, and teachers to be available for the population, this lowers the insurance rates and the delays cause by shortages of these professionals. It also allows more cures to be found for cancer, hemopheliacs, sickle cell anemia, etc. Putting Republicans in office based upon the propaganda below just comes back to hurt the average guy, or cancer victim, heart disease victim, etc. It also hurts many areas of the economy where engineers are creating new product and drugs and promoting new job creation, 3D printing, AI, etc. If you dont like lower health insurance premiums, new cancer drugs, more doctors, even the disability and SSI ones, then keep voting for republican lies.
BULL!!!!!!
Theres absolutely no reason to go to college at this point
