    Let me get this right... if a rich family pays for the entire education for their rich kids, their degrees are worthless?

    Well boy someone needs to tell that to Bush, Obama and Biden.

    The rise in tuition costs, combined with the growing economic value of a college degree, fuels the crisis of student debt, which today totals $1.7 trillion. To pay for a year of school, three-quarters of American families pay at least 24 percent of their average family income, even after grants are distributed.

    Do you often go back to your grocery store and demand the difference between the can of creamed corn (just assuming) you paid full price for and the same can that's now on sale?

    Old people are such whiny bitches.

    1. free isnt free -it's paid by taxpayers and we are adding literally trillions of debt in chunks thanks to COVID
    and the Progs frees stuff for everyone masquerading as jobs bills etc.

    But the best way to make college even more expensive (skyrocketing costs are already out of control)
    is to just have the government pay for it. Colleges can then just soak the government.

    There are scholarships and student loans that can pay. But if you dont get a STEM degree don't be surprised
    at how little you earn compared to your debt

    get a serious degree, or get a trade. liberal arts and "education" are a waste of your time and money
