Leah, what is the interest rate of that loan? Using someone elses money is never free :\.

I actually think it's gotten stupid with the percentage of people who think they have a RIGHT to get a college education, rather than just getting a real job.

that's not entitlement, that's the system is fucking rigged

the basic taxes your parents paid for your elementary/highschool education are to give you enough education to get a working job
if you decide you want to be something else, you have the right to pony up the fees to earn that education for the pathway to a higher paying career job
simple stuff here
just cause you were a nice kid doesn't mean that you've automatically earned the right to a 6 figure pay cheque
why do so many jobs require a 4 year degree? because there is a base competency expected that isn't generally learned by the time you reach grade 12
you're barking up the wrong tree here Clakar

I've learned almost nothing in college that I haven't learned from work experience and just being a person observing the world and experiencing life. But that doesn't matter in modern American society. It doesn't matter if there's any value added from that degree. You'd best have it, or you're going to be stagnant in most any career path you choose. That's why the exorbitant costs of an education are so ludicrous. Not because it's a luxury, but because it's become a necessity just to get by.
