Was your college degree worth the debt?

THIS ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Is just one example of why folks should:

NEVER trust ANY polecat!

Whenever the govt comes along saying:
We have this special deal for you...

One should always research it and determine who is getting rich off it.
Govt is almost always corrupt when they offer someone something special!

Seems I remember back in the Bush Jr days...
Colleges had new dorms with health clubs that were more lavish than private for pay health clubs...
WHY do kids need that to get an education???

While in graduate school (paid for with my Post 9/11 GI Bill), I did a paper on the cost of a college education. During the 60s and 70s, a student could work full-time at minimum wage during the summer to save enough money to pay for the tuition for the next academic year. Today, a student would need to earn more than $36 an hour working full-time during the summer to do that.

My research showed that each time the government made it easier to acquire federal subsidized student loans, colleges and universities would increase their tuition rates significantly to take financial advantage of those student loans. Tuition has increased more than 100% since 1974. What's amazing is, the vast majority of colleges and universities are accepting the same number of enrollments they did back then. Instead of spending money on adding more classrooms; they spend the money on amenities to lure more students to apply, creating a higher demand to justify raising their tuition rates even more.

When it comes down to it, the federal government while having good intentions initiated these programs that have increased tuition rates, flooded the market devaluing a college education, and increased the greed of colleges and universities. Another result is the creation of many new colleges that never existed before, but were created for the purpose of making money.

Back before the 80s, a person could graduate with a Liberal Arts degree and actually get a high paying job because businesses viewed any bachelors degree as valuable because of the dedication and work a person put into getting a degree, That's not the case today as the market is flooded with degrees today. I graduated with my MBA two years ago. It really has no value in the job market today.

Did you get a good grade on the paper... grin

In today's college campus environment...
TPTB would probably trump up a lie and expel you from school for that paper...
And try to get you jailed for some kind of imaginary crime...

Probably start a commission to investigate you... to find the imaginary crime...
:D
