If you're accruing massive debt attending college, you're doing it wrong. Community colleges and state schools exist. You can work part-time during school too.

If you're accruing massive debt attending college, you're doing it wrong. Community colleges and state schools exist. You can work part-time during school too. Its like buying anything - there's a spectrum of cost. You don't need the $60k/year school.
Also, if anything, the education system is contributing to our future idiocracy - esp. the public school system, which is a complete and utter failure.
- kickout 3y agoCome on, we are relying on 17/18/19 year olds to do a proper financial risk analysis on _debt that can never be bankrupted_? Adults have created this mess, don't put the blame on students 'doing what they've been told' e.g. go to college (more prestigious the better, too)
- Eumenes 3y agoColleges have a literal vested interest in keeping kids stupid about loans and debt. There should be a million places you have to sign, with big red disclaimers about the responsibility you're about to undertake. Who else is to blame? You signed the paper work. I was once that age, and decided not to go into crippling debt. Many, many young people decide not to fall for the trap. Alot of naive ones fall for it tho.
