Effect of Student Debt on the Economy Stupid

We're basically saying the same thing although I'm a softy and don't go the full Creepy dick route. Our Cuntry needs to do a better jerb of sorting kids in HS into who is college material and who should learn a trade. Welders, for example, can earn a six figure income and while that is skilled labor, its doesn't require 4 year degree in ethnic studies.creepycoug said:
Agreed. Too many people from loser families have been convinced they need to go to college to complete their lives.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:It's interesting that 50, 60 years ago way fewer people got bachelor's. We're talking about ten percent give or take. Now it's just a business in many ways instead of a public good.
The truth is a degree in Sports Management from Central Washington University is just a waste of time, and the opportunity cost of driving the street sweeper for the city for four more years will never be realized.
Let people like me and my kids worry about higher ed. The rest of you should just get the fuck to work. -

Everything else needs to GTFO!!! If you wanna be a philosophy major, due it on your own time and dime. No grants or loans for that shit.
I take it your sister has the communications degree. Here's some insight from the Creep: Comms degrees are for kids who couldn't handle the reading to be an English major. True story. That's why UW got rid of their Comms department years ago; it was an academic embarrassment. Although there's a rumor going around they re-opened it, now that they have so much money to spend. -

I disagree on the CC route. I went to a University for four years, but many of my friends went with the CC route, then ended up getting masters degrees. Unless you live below the poverty line, or are a minority, the number of scholarships available has shrunk considerably. In Oregon you can still qualify for the Dean's Scholarship, but that only pays about 25% of your tuition. Responsible poor studentscreepycoug said:
Yes, there is. CC is for losers who couldn't get their shit together in high school, which isn't really that hard to do. That tendency tends to follow you through life. I know 25 people who went the CC route; 24 of them wasted their time and should have just gone into a trade. And that's the population with which you'll be rubbing intellectual elbows for your first two years+. Sounds like a great plan. These are the people who continue saying "I seen that," well into their 30s and beyond.PurpleThrobber said:Certainly the cost of education has escalated....but let's not discount the lack of personal responsibility of the millennials/millennials parents for lusting over bachelors degrees from elite public and private institutions.
Nothing wrong with a couple years at a community college getting the basics out of the way dirt cheap and then moving to a four-year.
I weep virtually no tears and give no fucks over student debt loads.
That said, Jake Browning sucks and college administrators should be forced to live on half their salary.
No thanks. Creepy's kids are smart, and thus attend PRIVATE school all four years with other smart people. That's what makes you smart; not the author of the text book. Plus, it ups the odds that my grandcreepys will be smart, since that's the pool they'll likely draw from.
You get what you pay for.in lower middle class familiescan take the CC route for two years and get the undergrad done on the cheap while also working a job, and saving it for some of the tuition costs later at the University. It's probable that he/she may still owe some debt, but $10-$15k in school debt is manageable, while $50-$60k in school debt isn't for many.
You worked your ass off and got to where you can send your kids to private school. Props to you on that. Unfortunately, there are many people that aren't has successful as you, and their kids have to suffer some of the burden. The CC route is a way for them to achieve a diploma at a lower cost.
I started my tirade by making clear that CC is for losers. Being the kid of a poor family makes you a loser, unless you opt out. My siblings and I opted out. 85% of my cousins did not. Too bad for them.
CC is fine. But the talent pool you'll be with for 2 years (half your undergraduate years) will be significantly more shallow than even my alma mater, WSU, which is, as I've stated before, a retard factory.
It's a compromise.
Again, you get what you pay for. That a BMW drives better than a Ford Taurus is indisputable. But, yes, the Taurus is cheaper ... much, much cheaper. Cheaper to buy, and cheaper to live with. But the drive sucks ass.

She also could have gone to law school like her brother, or biz school or whatever. Alas, she did not, and likely won't, but could. That's the important part: she could.
Even without that, she could be doing a lot of other things besides consulting, and of course she cannot do a lot of things without going back to school ... just like most people. She won't be designing a bridge or running the derivatives desk at Goldman any time soon.
But she's a great writer, she can critically think her way out of at least a wet paper bag, and she's informed about the world in which she lives. She's also able to make a cogent poont. She's educated. She's hireable; always has been. It's not that complicated. That still matters, despite what the rednecks tell you. -

This is similar to what I say in a jerb interview when my liberal arts background comes up- i.e., I tell them I can read and write skrong and complete tasks. I'm smart, not dumb like everyone says. And I want respect.creepycoug said:

University administrators know that if a federal loan doesn't cover enough, a student can take out an additional private loan(s) if necessary. In other words, there isn't really a cap on how much a student can borrow, and the people in charge can just jack-up tuition, knowing that students will qualify for loans. It's similar to the housing bubble with respect to how over-leveraging can ultimately increase the burden of private debt. In the case of student loans, over-leveraging is more so forced through university and federal policy as opposed to "personal responsibility". Scholarships, grants, and two years of community college credits definitely help. I had a surplus of funds when I received my Bachelor's because of all of these things. Scholarships however, take a little bit of luck because of how competitive they are, and not every school offers an abundance of them.
I didn't start borrowing until I was in my Master's program. People who are in a worse situation than I was in probably have less of an incentive to go to graduate school because of how much they already owe. My guess is that one of the consequences related to this will be a workforce with less people suited for jobs that will require advanced knowledge in the future, such as data or computer science. Obviously, lower consumer spending is a consequence of any kind of private debt, but people in their lower 20's is a bad age group to hold a large fraction of outstanding debt because the housing market relies on young, first-time homeowners. Graduates today basically owe a mortgage before they can afford an actual mortgage. It's not about which generation they are from. It's primarily about the U.S. loan system and how it has evolved over time.
