Student debt is a HOAX

[22lcidw]

There are certainly trades

I ain't talking about Trades- or myself- I'm talking about my youngest son, who is an independent outside sales person straight commission- he is definitely middle class income- well in excess of 100k year (down here that is good money)- he went to 1 semester of college- he supports a wife and a kid and one on the way any day now(paid for in advance unless there is an unexpected emergency or problem), is buying his home, has 1 new vehicle and a dream truck, 2013 f-250 4wd power stroke (his 5th truck since he started buying his own), a travel trailer and does what he wants when he wants-

He is doing pretty good.

My son went into the Air Force and is going to work F-15s like his dad did, with his skills and the education the Air Force will provide, he wont be a College Grad Barista at Starbucks which was the new norm under that brown turd Obammy...He will have no debt, and has a stock portfolio at 18 that is better than most college educated morons...

My SIL went to the Air Force, very proud of him. He flies and has zero college debt.
My daughter went to Trade School, $13,000 and 18 months of living away from home. Currently no debt.
I teach public school, and 100% support trade schools, a thing called 'running start', internships/apprenticeships, joining the military, starting your own business or working for the family, or going to College.

But I agree, choose your college degree carefully or you will end up in huge debt and a shitty job trying to pay off that debt.

I love the idea of opening your own business, my buddy who is a building contractor was part time working on friends houses, but i told him he should incorporate so he can get the perks of a business plus the protections of the LLC. Now he is doing very well, and is his own boss. Did i mention, he is black also, and voted for President Trump, so he just isnt black enough...

And she, as the conservative, should address that-

Betsy, IMO, was trying to serve her own interests. Promoting Private and Charter Schools.
She NEVER spent a day in education, conservative or not, she was OUT of her league, and I'm glad she is gone.

...... Business and law degrees are now practically worthless unless they come from an Ivy League school.

Who told you that?

Why Obama told him that....

 

[Dick Foster]

If you don't understand by now you never will. Pretty much the only route to the middle class is to take on an outrageous debt load before you have even earned a degree. If it was just the academic degrees that were having trouble paying their loans no one would care. Business and law degrees are now practically worthless unless they come from an Ivy League school.

They're worthless as far as actual useful knowledge anyway.

You go to college and get a degree and then your job is off shored.

NWO- who first related to it? Hint - Republican, George W Bush- yeah, the no new taxes mans- who, in my time, opened trade relations with China? Answer: Republican, Richard M Nixon- who implemented Wage and Price controls in my time? Answer: Republican, Richard M Nixon- who said "I guess we're all Keynesean now." Answer: Republican,Richard M Nixon-

Playin my side's a saint is a no win proposition-

I don't think your side are saints at all. In fact, they aren't getting away with shit. I expect you to call them out. I don't need to include them in most of my posts.

I say bash the crap out of the Democratic Party but for what they actually did. You don't have to make it up. You don't have to get all "dun dun dun" and conspiracy. It's all right there. Look for specific actions not some vague-ish nonsensical drivel or overgeneralizations.

The high majority of those making bad decisions are PROG, so of course that applies to student debt too

If "they" had a clue they'd know community college is already free or close. My daughter's nursing school runs about $900 a term (4 classes), and that's BEFORE tax credits. If people had a job perhaps they'd know something about tax credits. Sure she has a moderate scholarship for applying herself, that's how shit works. The sky is the limit for her in medicine, good decision.

Then there are the ENTITLED right. They probably don't know what a day's work entails, and surely they're mentally lazy making poor decisions too. Socialism steers everyone to the lowest common denominator. These assholes want to go to Stanford and such, have a good time earning degrees in worthless arts, socialism etc. Might get you a government job, see the connection? So naturally these students are graduated lazy in addition to indoctrinated, and naturally they desire the govt. take care of them because it's the environment they're adjusted for.

Ok. That sounds like you have not been educated about the subject matter.

Additionally, there are other things at play. You go to college and get a degree and then your job is off shored. In fact, they will bring in people from India and have you train them. The Democratic Party loves to play that bullshit. Bill Gates requests more H1B visas yearly. Hillary adored it herself.

I was in information systems for some time, for Govt. For the most part the Indian's who were mostly on contract were only people worth a shit. Not only competent but unentitled & good natured. My colleagues generally had college degrees, and all but one with a Masters was completely worthless. In her case she was wise too and a nice person. For the most part those with college degrees had to be told by others how to do their job, constantly, no exaggeration. Half the people earning $ didn't even know what was going on, yet they're suppose to fix and improve, amazing.

Who knew you were a PROG?


Gates courted Congress yearly for more H1B1 visas. The first argument made was that there were not enough skilled workers here. That was a lie. You didn't want to pay 'em. Second lie was that American workers were not worth a damn. Just didn't want to pay them. I'm sure you are familiar with US workers being forced to train their foreign replacements. I just wasn't aware you supported those things. You kind of sound like a Democrat.

Just telling you my experience, and not an ounce untrue. You have to remember it wasn't the best of the best for starts, because nothing near govt. is less small and in good hands. I worked with perhaps 150 people at some point. The govt. programmers plain didn't stand up to the Indians, and as people too over all, govt. workers are just entitled less a few. Many have never known the private sector, spoiled rotten. I know of one Indian that mostly useless, go figure he worked for the Govt. too, probably corrupted. That said, the best tow programmers (people) of the bunch were white American males.

Even STEM has found way to be somewhat useless. An Engineer (30s) made a full time job what I spent two weeks to automate, with a template too. It was his project for well over a year. By the third week 5 minutes to back it up on occasion. I finished the 4th grade & was never paid to program. Neat, mainstream U.S. education is so awesome (hacks!).

The guy running the program my last assignments was useless too. $140 hr. Govt. EE. I don't know where he was educated, but he's another engineer who can't get out of his own way. Dollars to donuts years later they still have implemented the last project I gave them, all logic & content accounted for, always was.

Awful lot of unfounded generalizations you've made there about others

Degrees aren't worthless they are just the expectation now. Cancelling current student debt isn't the answer since it doesn't solve anything and comes across as unfair.

 

[citygator]

Most loans are a good idea however 9% of students account for 30% of defaults. No it’s not liberal arts majors, it’s for profit college rip offs. It’s a crime.

If you don't understand by now you never will. Pretty much the only route to the middle class is to take on an outrageous debt load before you have even earned a degree.

I can offer anecdotal evidence to the contrary- wanna play tit for tat?

There are certainly trades that end up being fairly lucrative but not everyone is inclined to that sort of occupation. I do pretty good now as a homebuilder but it took 25 years of pounding nails to learn how to do it. It's also important to note that benefits in the trades are crappy if they are offered at all.

No, the prog slaves of today have had no responsibility in the upbringing of their children passing them off to the indoctrination centers where the kids arent taught Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, they are taught how to put a condom on a cucumber, it is okay to be queer, if you are white you are a monster, then they get to go to college where they can learn how to riot by burning, looting and murder.

The statement called out several specific recent actions taken by the federal government, including President Trump’s executive order banning government trainings on “critical race theory” and “white privilege.”

When you are born and taught that you are fucked no matter what you do, then you grow up a victim of progressivism, and can never make something out of yourself....which is why i call you progs, slave...

What the hell school did you go to?

As soon as the government started guaranteeing student loans the dominoes started to fall and the tuition started to rise and the colleges were all too happy to take the ride.

Just one more reason govt. fucks everything up, and that's how PROGS like it.

My nephew spent years trying to repay his loans. It was an issue that was partly responsible for his divorce. He had a wealthy Uncle pass away about two years ago. Most of his assets were investments and couldn't be liquidated for many months. But my nephew finally got his inheritance and paid off his loans. Now we get this Biden clown and he's going to payoff student loans when our country is 26 trillion in debt and growing for the sake of vote buying. How would that be fair to my nephew and those who were in his position?

Is your nephew white? It isnt meant to be fair...there is nothing fair about the Prog masters, only power grabbing and fucking the people.

I disagree. Where is it written you have to attend college right after high school? If you really want to go to college, then stay at home, work for three or four years saving every dollar you can. Then enter college while still working part-time. In the summer, get a full-time job and continue funding your own education. Depending on how long you stay in college, if you do have to take a loan, it will be a much, much smaller one than if you went to college out of high school.

What I found with most younger people is they wanted to go to college, but didn't know what for. They choose fields that have little demand. The less demand for a job, the less money it pays. When my niece was trying to figure out what she wanted to go for, she was considering a marine biologist. I told her to show me the want ads with all the marine biologist jobs posted.

When you work you learn things, talk to a lot of people, get experience on the job and on life in general. You mature and can make better decisions such as what career you wish to pursue.
