How do you go $50,000 in debt to get a bachelors degree? I don’t feel sorry for these idiots
Thank you for doing this piece!
Imo, instead of making college free we should fix the public education system. Make it where the last two years of high school are nothing but specialized electives that give you college credits or a certificate in a certain trade. I got my CCENT right our of high school and could get a decent paying IT job right now. (If I wasn’t so asocial and akward at interviews) Of course fixing the system would never happen because the government and bankers love to pray off of those sweet sweet unsubsidized loans.
That's there problem.
I paid back my loan back in 1985!
10k.
They can blame Wallstreet and the Republicans…..their loans make billionaires wealthy
The gov brainwashed and babied these kids, now they're controlling them, by controlling their finances. Sad to see.
I'm very glad that you made it clear albiet the end of the video, that this not just a millenials problem but in fact a Multi generational problem!
She went to college but didn't know her debt till her last semester? And she has an education?
"The only way to get a job is to go to college." Say that to a former classmate of mine who got a welding job 2 months after graduating from a trade school with, guess what, NO DEBT.
