I think that I might be on board with Bernie's student debt forgiveness program. As long as it is forgiveness and not the taxpayer footing the bill. Not because I feel sorry for Susan Greenhair for being $100,000 in debt with her Gender Studies degree, but because the college cost bubble would be popped spectacularly.

Agree in principle. But is anyone even working their way through school anymore? It is so expensive that student loans are becoming a form of indentured servitude.Comment

The idiots in this state thought I was worthy of academic scholarships for all four of my degrees.

Fair enough. Still, that's a tough path and you still end up pretty deeply in debt. Not $150,000 worth but probably enough to keep you from building any net worth in your 20s. Tuition + room and board + other stuff at Toledo or Bowling Green is still $25,000 per year for in-state residents. I don't know how much of a dent four years of part time minimum wage work puts into that, but I don't think that it is much. Paying it off without a STEM degree probably takes a long time. I know that there are people who do it, but my parents didn't have to. As much as I rag on Generation Y for all kinds of stuff, they are getting a legit raw deal when it comes to career building.Last edited by Hannibal; June 27, 2019, 03:26 PM.Comment

You may have to live at home and go to the commuter school. Or have a ton of roommates. And there is no undergrad degree out there that precludes full time work.Originally posted by Hannibal View Post"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

And you bring up a good point, DSL. Not everyone needs a degree.
You can be a pipe fitter or a welder or a truck driver or a plumber or an electrician or a million other things and make a decent living."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment
