Isn't anyone else tired of articles that are completely useless to anyone outside the US?
I'm fine with political insights, drug/weapons/abortion/religion debates or US breakthroughs, but articles about ways around student loans and rankings of cellphone carriers just go WHOOSH over me.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I wish there was an [US] tag for this type of content.
- nir 16y agoWhy is this completely useless outside the US? Going to college is the common course in many countries, it usually requires 3-4 years of your life and more money than you independently have at 18. (Yeah, very cheap/free in some parts of Europe. Though those lacking Norway-style natural resources might see this change in the near future.)
- BoppreH 16y agoI'm currently a college student. The university I attend is completely free and is one of the best available. What about people who don't pass the entrance exam? They go to private colleges, paying a value between 0.7 and 2 times the minimum wage. And there are cheaper alternatives. Additionally, most people in college have part time jobs, making the payment even less problematic. And this is 3rd world South America.
