My kid's generation doesn't really have a shred of hope, does it?

15. FOR WHAT HOUSES? FOR WHAT PROFESSIONS?

For a roof and HVAC, one needs to be able to afford a HOME or an entity that requires these things. That requires disposable income, which is soon going to be a scarcity in a world where there's too much month at the end of the money. Student loan debt alone is going to shackle young people before they can even make a start.

This idiotic notion that higher education demands mortgage-level cost is the FIRST thing that needs to be done away with if we're going to have any kind of life to give the next of kin.

I see many young people going into vet tech as a career. Again, though, I don't see costs to start that going down. Isn't it true that medical schools in general only accept 1-2% of the applicants (who are, by and large, smart and rich kids)? From what people in the field tell me, veterinarian education is in some cases more difficult to get into than med school is.
