>all these people whining
The principle is that they're doing something they need to do to have a good life (i.e. get a good job) and that society wants/needs them to do (i.e. have specialized skills to fill a role), and they're not happy about being penalized for it so much. If you think that's whining, that's fine, but it's a reasonable thing to take issue with when looked at that way.

You guys are missing the point.
Education prices have been jewed to hell and back, and back to hell, and back.

You don't need even $30k per student to run a womyns study program. But jewniversities will charge 3x that and make students take pay with government grants or private scholarships, slave labour or parent's money, AND student loans combined.

There's new books students have to buy every year even on static subjects like fucking calculus because jewniversities make contracts with book publishers for kickbacks.

Jewniversities have connections with industries and pull strings to prevent hiring people without degrees at all costs.

And the money isn't even going to teachers or better education, it's pissed away in redundant but still useless administration and million dollar football coaches.

The healthcare industry is the only one more despicable.

No one owes her shit. She could have worked summers to pay half that off, but odds are she traveled Europe or some shit banging Frenchmen and "discovering herself." My wife's son has a friend who "studied abroad" on a Caribbean island for 6 months and took out a loan to pay for it. She also financed a brand new car and now is graduated and complains about her student debt. Give me a fucking break. My nephew graduated debt free by working summers and nights, living with his mom, and plowing through school in 4 years flat. No one owes you shit in life. Live accordingly

Shouldn't have to work summers and nights in order to get a higher education. If the government wasn't handing money out as if it were candy, your nephew wouldn't have had to work nights.

You're simply missing the point of the "guaranteed return" in the eyes of universities. It means there is no need for competition and books costing $200 is completely normal, as it is guaranteed. My college now has spinless books that require binders to be purchased separately. If there was actual competition, that wouldn't be in our reality. Why? Cause' who the fuck wants to buy a spinless book that you have to buy a binder for AND you're still paying $200 for it!

Simple fact is, the US can more than afford to pay for higher education for every qualified American. Period.

Instead we (as in the government,) spend our money on crap and waste, especially in the military. Look at the DD(X) project. Was supposed to create the next generation of American naval supremacy, and it will fucking sink in 40 foot seas. Good thing we don't have to worry about the North Atlantic. And, they're running four billion a pop to make, not counting the 30 billion in R&D that went into the thing. The LCS boats, 24 "ships" that can't stand up in 20' seas, none of which are fully operationally capable (since the "mission modules" that go to make them work aren't fully loaded out yet,) at a half-billion each, not counting the 25 billion that went into that project. That's 100 billion, wasted on ships that can't fight their way out of a bag, when we could have saved money and bought another fleet of 3rd flight Burkes instead.

And that's not counting the $2 trillion dollar boondoggle that's the F-35. For that amount, we could wipe out all student loan debt, and give free college to every qualified American through 2020 (or if we weren't going to wipe out the debt, give free college to every qualified American until 2048.)

TL;DR - too many shitty programs having money spent on when higher education and trades schools would be a better return on investment

How the fuck can you not pay back 30k?

Any half-decent job requiring a college degree would allow a quick repayment. If you're to make us think that 30k is a debilitating amount of debt, how the fuck do you think people can afford cars and houses?

If you can't pay off 30k with a college degree, that just tells us you're a bottom tier performer.

If anybody studies any kind of 'art' - you deserve what you got.
Ever wonder where the phrase 'starving artist' comes from? All the old masters were poor and had patrons, none was rich in their lifetime. Fewer authors too. Suck it up and learn to bullshit.
If you study philosophy, politics, economics, etc either became a politician or salesman.
meanwhile, in /biz/ and reddit, infographics all over the internets, marketing is still considered a low tier or pleb tier degree.
Marketing and sales drives every company and successful person.

Protip - you will learn more about marketing in 1 year by selling products and services, than any graduate.

While they are playing mathematical games with their debt and job-hunting, you can be tweaking your campaigns, positioning, pricing, etc

Nothing has the potential to earn money like effectively selling a product or service, even if you didn't build it, create it, have a monopoly, have a sales job or permission to sell it.

Nobody will pay you $5k a month, but that is considered peanuts in marketing terms.

She didn't really learn much either by the looks of it.

But really, I don't think a $30k debt is going to cripple you financially for the rest of your life.

My Dad was actually in $97k debt at one point about 10 years ago and now has close to $100k savings.

>>
>>1290000

What else was she suppose to do you Jew? I mean you have these kids that were taught all their life by liberals to go to college after high school. All during high school kids are harassed about college, the future, and the "perfect job". It is made out to be that if you don't go to college, you're a retard bound to be a janitor living in your moms basement.

Thus kids go to college and pull out loans, as they are unable to pay it themselves. And it's not like their baby boomer parents are worth a wank. They couldn't even teach them financial guidance, as them themselves are in a mountain of cc debt. I mean what do you really expect when the schools don't even teach you to balance a check book, parents can't even manage their own finances, schools and parents are memeing college all day everyday, and the government is giving out loans as if they're candy.

I blame the baby boomers. Thx guys.

What a wonderful future you've left all of us. Please continue blaming your children for their own problems though. Worthless.

Yes actually I was tricked.

I was told going to college would land me a good job.
I was told getting a student loan would help me pay for my learning experience.
Getting a good job would help me pay back the loans.

Well with a degree I can't use, I'm stuck in debt cause' I was told by the public school system to go to college and get a good job. Even my parents had told me the same.

It's like you don't do research. And all of how this happened is besides the point. We still have an issue, the issue of 1.3 trillion dollars worth of student loans.

What is telling me "it's your problem", "should have done x instead of y", or w/e bs you can come up with help anything? The problem is still present.

What the actual fuck. Having to repay what you borrow is now a penalty? No one forces you to take a loan you cannot repay. The only backwards part of this whole student loan system is that with the government backing them there's no incentive to ensure that people taking them will likely be able to repay. All you turbofaggot fuckers who think you "deserve" a college education took the rails off the system and now you throw a fit when you steer off the road. It's double your fault asshole.

Even if you go to community college the books still cost an arm and a leg, and sometimes there are additional costs that are stupidly high.
I took a Linux course at one that required a subscription to a website/service/software package called LabSim. The software running through the site fucking suuuuuucked. Sometimes it would run slowly, sometimes it would crash, sometimes it would fail to register you'd done what you needed to do for the "simulation", and it was always missing around 90% of what you'd expect from an actual functional Linux distro. Even the teacher didn't like it, but he couldn't replace it, because he couldn't find another product that did the same thing, and no one wanted to code one from scratch, and there wasn't time enough in a class period for him to go around and watch everyone do the exercises (and who would want to do that anyway).
How much did I pay for the privilege to run this piece of shit across a network? It was $111.25, plus tax. That's on top of the book, which was $59.99, plus tax. That $171.24-- but that's just one course! The other course I took that semester had a $140 book. That comes out to $311.24 for a semester just on required shit. That was one of the more expensive semesters I had, but I'm pretty sure all of them went to at least about $175 in books.

I tried to stay away from anything too loaded and you still twisted what I said.

I didn't say anything about deserving a college education (because I don't think that's some inherent right), and I definitely didn't to anything to create this system.

I didn't call paying back loans "punishment" or "trickery" or "harassment" or anything, I thought "penalty" was neutral enough.

How about this: These people think paying for college for years and years is too steep a price.

They think it's too steep a price for something that they believe they need to do, and which society wants them to do, and which many of them-- not all, maybe not most, but a lot-- will actually need to get a stable job.

>just work while you go to college
Have you ever gone to college full time? It's like a job in itself. They expect you to spend a lot of your free time studying, doing research, solving problems, writing papers, etc., and to pay for the privilege to do that with their special book and 1-3 hours a week of contact with someone that, once upon a time, did what you're learning to do (or sometimes still does in their free time). That's not to say it's unfair or it's trickery or it's inhumane or anything, but it's rough. I would not want to try to work while doing that.

What about part-time college and a part-time job? Well then you're going to be in college about twice as long-- I hope what you're majoring in still has good job prospects when you're 32 and you're not fucking sick of it already!

And did she actually go into a field that was hiring or even look for a job in the field of study she did? I know of a guy who got an agricultural degree and ended up driving a truck. I asked why he didn't pursue the career he studied for and he said that no one around was hiring. I asked him why he didn't move to places that were hiring he said it was too much trouble. When I asked why he didn't take out a loan and start his own farm he said he didn't have time. So he basically thought that life would be handed to him when he graduated and gave up when he found out he had to work at it. Which is no reason for my tax dollars to bail him out of his bad decisions.

I just can't understand how these politicians we've put into office said:

Goys they're bitching about no free college.
What do?
Simple, we give them money at an interest rate, a pell grant, and let them write off college expenses on their taxes!
But these are just children Sir.
Doesn't matter, they'll learn the hard way and we'll blame them! Plus their baby boomer parents will too, cause they still believe in government. Cucks.
That's brilliant!
What about prices of books and tuition if we're giving all this money out with an interest rate? Plus what about the 5.5k pell grant we give out? And the money we give back for spending on college?
Well of course it will raise tuition prices, books, and other necessities for college. Why wouldn't it? You have an influx of people with money just handed to them and they want a higher education. We raise prices, they pay up. Duh.
Sir I think you're onto something. Now we can give our football coaches million dollar salaries and splurge on buildings, sidewalks, more buildings, bigger football fields, and everything else that doesn't help our students!

Just a note that this money ends up in the economy. Now you have a huge amount of money in the economy that's not suppose to be there that people owe on. How is this not understood? It also decreases competition.
>>
I think people are missing the bigger picture that it doesnt matter how many people have post-secondary education. The amount of jobs in the market is not going to change. Suddenly everyone has a degree and guess what? Oh that's right, there isn't enough high skilled jobs for everyone in the first place. You're still going to need guys that work the shit jobs.

>These people think paying for college for years and years is too steep a price.
Maybe they should have gone to a cheaper college, or worked more part time, or maybe if they truly couldn't afford it they just shouldn't have bought something they could not afford in the first place. Where the fuck do you even get logic like this? Hell, I think a Lamborghini is too expensive. Maybe if I take a loan out for one I can't pay it should just be forgiven after a certain number of years of trying REALLY hard to pay it off.

>They think it's too steep a price for something that they believe they need to do
>that they believe they need to do
>they believe
Aha, here's the source of the problem. "I believe something therefore I shouldn't be responsible for any consequences of being wrong and society should give me free stuff to help me support my belief."

Look, people got fucked by a system that was DESIGNED to fuck them (not disputing that in the least). But their own choices were critical to their fucking. Being taken advantage of still requires you to be a fool and fall for it. And when someone asks Uncle Sam to bail them out of poor decisions THEY MADE (regardless of whether the government or society or whatever egged them on to make it) who do you really think gets the dick?

>The people who made the poor choices?
NOPE

>The people who exploited those poor choices?
NOOOOPE

>Everybody else
Lol, of course.

You'll have to excuse me if I'm more than a little unenthusiastic about the prospect of paying for the mistakes of a bunch of stupid teenagers when I just graduated from college debt free a few years ago, because I'm who it really affects, not the aging boomers who are finishing their careers and about to live out the rest of their comfortable "I got mine" lives paying next to no taxes.
>>
>>1291353
That's very true, and there's another thing: it raises the bar and you get situations like mine-- I didn't finish college and despite trying for 9 months I have yet to even get a job cleaning toilets and pushing carts despite applying for positions like that a bunch of times.
That said I think there's... if not a valuable idea, at least a valuable drive, in this.
Unless you take AP classes or college prep or advanced electives, high school does not and probably will not teach for things higher than so-called unskilled jobs, and those unskilled jobs are falling by the wayside. They might not ever go away completely, but the job market is going to keep shrinking for a good while. It will never get back to where it was before good, cheap automation, and it probably won't even get back to where it was very recently.
>they won't automate away janitors
That's one of the next 5 jobs that'll start disappearing, I'd stake my neetbux on it.
>>
>>1291863
The thing is they're not entirely wrong. You can get good jobs without college but it takes longer, and if you have some technical you like (or are good at) it can be essentially impossible to break in without a degree.

but sure, the matter of the system fucking you over

How did you know this going in? Why do you expect every student to know it?

I knew because of my mom. I'm not sure it was even a student loan thing, she might have just been really worried about loans period, but she was adamant that I wouldn't take one. If it wasn't for her the chances are quite good that I would have taken out a loan eventually, and now I'd be in debt.

So, what, if you have dumb parents (and maybe a bad school district, because I sure did and they never brought it up), it's your fault?

>Hell, I think a Lamborghini is too expensive. Maybe if I take a loan out for one I can't pay it should just be forgiven after a certain number of years of trying REALLY hard to pay it off.
Is that really what you think the logic is? You think they don't think they can pay it off? I can assure you lots of college students truly believe they're going to be living the high life months if not weeks after graduation and will have money to spare. I can also assure you lots more fret and worry and run the numbers three times before taking a loan-- and then hit bad luck or just find they were too optimistic in their math.

I'm not saying either of those groups (let alone your "fake it 'til you make it" example) should be utterly and immediately cleared, but let's not demonize them either, let's treat them like human beings in a tight spot who acted dumb and almost definitely now feel dumb and regretful, even the ones ranting about debt forgiveness.

The problem comes from all sides.

Government isn't funding education they way they once did. Boomers got cheap education and now they don't want to support Millennials since everything is about individual responsibility, except for their social security, which is the public's responsibility.

The new business model of education is fucking over students. Deans, provosts, presidents are multiplying at alarming rates and with insane salaries. The development of a million middle-managers isn't good for the bottom line and unnecessary.

Students want to live in luxury dorms

Also, university isn't about learning a simple skill, this is what trade schools are for. University teaching a broad range of topics is important to their development as a person being worth a shit and being a decent citizen. The hope would be that society as a whole could move in a better direction since the population wouldn't be easily swindled by fast talking politicians. Also, the level of political discussion could be raised if everyone had a decent understanding of Keynes and Friedman as well as Rawls and Von Hayek. Not to mention businesses continue to complain that graduates can't think critically and can't write (not surprisingly business and education suck the most at critical thought)

Also, I don't think most students really expect to make 100K out of university, I think what they want is a path towards a decent income. A path that is shrinking for most people. Technology and globalization fucked manufacturing. The low level service sector is about to get completely fucked and the higher levels are getting pushed in on as well. Doctors, lawyers, professors, etc. can be replaced with technology on some level. People are upset that the path to being middle class isn't there.

Yea, maybe they could all get degrees as engineers but if everyone has a degree in engineering it isn't worth anything.

Not even. Higher education should be a challenge to achieve and not be given to anyone for free. Basic public education should be free and manual labor jobs should be acceptable by those who've graduated with just a hs degree. That's how it use to be; that's how it should be.
>>
>>1292157

A big difference between boomers and this generation is that boomers could get a job with just a hs degree. Plus they'd just declared bankruptcy if they choose to go to college and needed loans. On top of that no one really went to college, as it wasn't necessary.

It's more like it's fucking jaw dropping amazing to watch them bitch. No college bound student can possibly be so dense to not be able to suss things out before committing himself to a certain course of action that doesn't have many upsides when all is said and done.

Anon speaks truth, it's a complete nightmare. Ships are garbage, out of spec, two contractors making them (Lockheed and Austal), and there is a huge clusterfuck over shock testing standards.

I got to write off lots of taxes, because i worked in college. Graduated with almost no debt (albeit horrible grades) because of that.

18 to 21-year-olds are not children. Sadly, they often have an immature mindset.

Working after school is just asking to fail in a STEM field. I got a part time job about 25-30 hours per week while I was still in school so then i'd have something for the summer. I had pretty much no time to study and barely enough to sloppily complete my assignments on time, hell some were late. My grades dropped a bit but ended up strong cause most the semester I was not working.

If you're in something like liberal arts though then there is no excuse really.

Debt forgiveness is like your mom stealing your neighbor's kid because your dad poisoned you.

You have a responsibility to not completely fuck your own life even if you've never learned how to or the people you trust encourage you to fuck it up. Now, having a poor education might make that difficult, but if being ignorant itself immunizes you to all consequences of your ignorance why would you ever want to be knowledgeable? What benefit is there to managing your money wisely and making sure you spend carefully or invest in a good education when all you get is a part of the bill for some shmuck who did none of those things?

Shitty analogy, and you're putting the offspring back into victim status, not to mention qualifying college as 'poison' which presumes that college is 'harmful' to everyone.

My STEM degree got me a great job, so I appreciate my mom telling me I need to go 'drink that poison'.

I educated myself and understood the risks of doing a liberal arts degree, so instead of music, I did information systems.

No, these adults in debt are not victims. They were shown an opportunity that had controllable risks and fucked it up.
>>
>>1289252

But they should stop offering loans on degrees that they KNOW for a fact are bad investments.

They are offering a bad investment to a naive customer, that they know full well is a bad investment.

So obviously the student is to blame, but the system needs to change.

If he can convince someone to give him $50k on a risky investment, he deserves every penny.

How is this thread still up?

So....

If an 18 year old finances a $30,000 car, is this also somehow my problem?

Explain how college debt is "a huge problem" but other forms of debt are not. Is it because you guys have college debt and not auto debt? Because I'd like my truck paid off while we're blaming other people for our financial decisions
>>

A car is gauranteed to get you somewhere.

>>1293885
>>1293845

How is it not? It's clearly a controversial topic worth discussing. It's clearly a huge problem among this current generation.

> If an 18 year old finances a $30,000 car, is this also somehow my problem?

Yes it is when this 18 year old uses the money left over from the pell grant as a down payment.

It doesn't effect you directly you NEET, but it effects you long-term. What is hyperinflation? What is an overvalued stock market? Both economical issues that effect everyone everywhere.

> Explain how college debt is "a huge problem" but other forms of debt are not.

Seeing that the student debt is bigger than the auto loan debt and the credit card debt is concerning.

> Is it because you guys have college debt and not auto debt?

What's stopping someone from pulling out a student loan and using it as a down payment for an auto loan?

> Because I'd like my truck paid off while we're blaming other people for our financial decisions

I completely agree with this. Neither one of my parents had an education. Looking back, it was fucked up how little life advice they gave me. They really didn't push me to do anything. They were hard working people and fairly intelligent yet I don't understand their parenting logic. I finally got my finance degree and I'm making more than enough to pay it back. Meanwhile, my sister is completely lost, living at home and they act like everything is fine. I tried to help but it seriously pissed me off when I think about this.
