- closetnerd 12y agoActually, "people" don't object to spending money on affordable education. People do object to paying paralyzing amounts of money of for an education that quickly begins to lose its value. I don't understand peoples logic here. As if knowing differential calculus and working to pay of tons of debt is somehow better than perhaps being a mechanic in middle america where they have time to travel the country and have little fun. Not saying that this is the case for the majority, but we're coming awfully close to it.
- unreal37 12y agoI have no problem with you spending your money on whatever you want. But there is a dangerous belief that education = investment for all cases. Way too many students leave college with $50,000+ in debt for "Community Service" degree, and it becomes a burden they carry with them for a decade that restricts them from travel, living comfortably, or taking calculated but smart risks such as starting their own business. Let's at least be honest here. There should be a relationship between size of the debt you are allowed to accumulate, and the annual salary of the related profession. I think there often is not.
