(13,538 posts)A lot of these overpriced degrees are of little use in the job market. Go to a technical college. We have tons of well paying technical jobs begging for people. Learn a trade; more high paying jobs. And the bonus is that most of those jobs can't be outsourced. Join the military; they'll send you to college for free.
Some of these loan amounts I see are absolutely ridiculous for what you end up with. Maybe investigate why university costs rise faster in this country than MEDICAL costs. And maybe stop making kids think they can't be successful without a college degree. The majority of the most successful people I know either never went to college or never got a degree.
But you're right; nobody gives a shit about the debt; republican or democrat. Because neither party is willing to do the things it would take to reduce it. "Free" only means someone else has to pay years down the road. And if you have kids or grandkids, its going to be THEM.
