Maybe in Murica. Selling ovaries, shooting porno videos, sex work, stripping. These are the opportunities available to young American students. If they were in Germany, they would've gotten into a good tradeship or university all paid for without having to succumb to transgressive career choices just so they can support themselves through an expensive and horribly faulty notion that education is a business just like trading stocks.

Or, you know, you could borrow the money to study and then get a high-paying job in NYC or SF, pay it all back in less than three years, and enjoy low taxes for the rest of your 40 year career. The U.S. system is polarizing, for better (if you're lucky / don't fuck up) or for worse.

  borrowing money means you need credit which lot of young adults don't have. don't assume everyone else has the same options as you.

    You asserted that no one had good options. You're pretty clearly wrong.

      compared to university students in Germany and France? please tell me a German university student who sold their ovaries or body to fund their education. oh thats right it's all paid for. lets not forget the quarter of a million dollar student loans that they will be forced to pay for. Pretty sure that's nothing couple years of work and all paid for right? seriously America is too ghetto for university students, you have to literally fend for your self while in Europe the state recognizes the value in investing in university students through a national program. After all, much of the innovation comes from such institution. Maybe not so far America since they import all of the talent anyways starting from WW2 days also explains why startup founders are overwhelmingly are immigrants. There just isn't enough American students from American universities thriving apart from exclusive ivy league lucky sperm club (being a navajo or hispanic applicant certainly helps) while barring Asian Americans because the 'yellow peril' is taking over the campus.
