You can tell this is an ancient meme because it prices college at 4 years at $9,000 per year instead of 5 years at $30,000 per year ๐

Government allows infinite lending to stupid unexperienced children, children tell colleges their tuition is on the house, colleges raise tuition costs knowing their premium is secured by either wealthy families or the infinite pockets of the government, students keep being told the lie college is the only outlet to a better life, keep taking more loans. Rinse and repeat.
So many soft losers in this thread who think the epitome of life is wasting away at a desk all day looking at code and coping with the lifelong debt they took to experience it. Unironically some moron who thinks that you can only gain critical thinking from going to a uni, completely ignoring children who show the predisposition for higher intelligence among their peers. You can't teach intelligence. Stockholm syndrome cope fr.
Yup, I got a chemistry degree. Yeah I get paid marginally better but considering how much it cost and all the trouble I went through I could've done something else I wanted to make money. Education is great and enriching, but we shouldn't become debt slaves over it.
I wonder why college board salaries keep rising but the overall availability and quality of education isn't?? Curious..
Honestly, would my wife and I need to save up only $1k per month for the next 16 years to pay for my kid's college? That sounds absurdly do-able and easy. I'm all for trade school too. My Wife and I went to a more technical college and are doing fairly good for ourselves. Will hope our kid goes the same path. We got our college degree and in between years we had jobs in our industry and did interning. That's the best of both worlds IMO.
