Oh I don't know but my son has saved multiple lives and his friend designs AC units. But yes lack of debt and a very comfortable lifestyle is pretty important also.


I have a granddaughter who married a deadbeat (not my son's kid). He literally told me money wasn't important to him (He won't keep a job.) So he has had her call to beg me for money when he was going to get evicted and when this car was getting repossessed and when his kid needed a minor surgery. (Which was really covered under Medicaid :palm:)

When he asked for money remind him it is not important to him.

College students should be required to present a business plan on where they intend to find a job what the odds of them finding that job and how long and how large a payment would be for them to pay off their college loan BEFORE they receive a federally insured college loan. Every college should be required to teach a 2hr class for each freshman, sophomore, junior and senior year on college loans and grants and scholarships.

BTW I'd love to watch a typical liberal arts student that looks down their noses at tradesmen try to figure out how to wire their own house or frame it. :laugh:

My son is a fireman and his best friend is a Mechanical engineer. They went to high school together. My son STILL makes more money and has worked in his field for 3 more years and has ZERO college debt.

Completing college is stressful enough without adults looking over your shoulder and demanding you draw up business plans.

Having subsided public higher education is a benefit of living in an advanced civilized society. That's why we are not Somalia or Pakistan.

I really don't think young adults who major in theater and performing arts can be expected to draw up business plans.

America’s higher education system was founded on the liberal arts and the widespread understanding that mass access to art, culture, language and science were essential if America was to thrive.

In 1947, a presidential commission bemoaned an education system where a student “may have gained technical or professional training” while being “only incidentally, if at all, made ready for performing his duties as a man, a parent and a citizen.”

This is laughable. It is quite apparent neither you or the other dunce Guno that "thanked" you for this bullshit have a college degree. STFU.

I think that depends. I used the GI Bill to pay for college in exchange for military service as part of a contract. For students wanting to go to college on a credit card, I'd agree. They need to show reasonable means to pay back the loan.

Oh trust me they do. I had to co-sign for both my daughter's and son's college loans.

And yes, we got em' all paid off- One reason why I was against the FREE COLLEGE bullshit.

No one offered to pay us back! And yes, it was a struggle to get them paid off too!

Mine? I told them they were on their own. No co-signing on my part. Not going to do that.

Colleges should be more than indoctrination centers for Democrats.
