some countries in south america

2018-08-15 20:30:54 UTC  

So having uni student pay for at least 10% would be sufficient?

2018-08-15 20:31:17 UTC  

Does someone have to pay full prices for the value to be there?

2018-08-15 20:31:26 UTC  

what is value?

2018-08-15 20:31:51 UTC  

10% of the cost we attributed to it, which is based off what americans can afford

2018-08-15 20:31:55 UTC  

😂

2018-08-15 20:32:00 UTC  

imagine a bike that cost a years salary

2018-08-15 20:32:03 UTC  

In regards to where you brought up when people pay the get value out of it

2018-08-15 20:32:19 UTC  

yeah, they need to pay their way

2018-08-15 20:32:26 UTC  

you can't do that now

2018-08-15 20:32:31 UTC  

you used to tho

2018-08-15 20:32:40 UTC  

no more than like 40 years ago

2018-08-15 20:32:50 UTC  

But where is the line drawn?

2018-08-15 20:32:55 UTC  

people could get a job and pay there way through college

2018-08-15 20:33:01 UTC  

Oh yes.

2018-08-15 20:33:05 UTC  

You CANNOT do that now.

2018-08-15 20:33:08 UTC  

now you need a college degree to pay for college to get the college degree

2018-08-15 20:33:11 UTC  

And boomers don't even fucking know it...

2018-08-15 20:33:34 UTC  

It's the most enraging thing in the whole wide goddamn world.

2018-08-15 20:33:39 UTC  

I got lucky

2018-08-15 20:33:45 UTC  

how does a college degree now cost more than then, yet mean less?

2018-08-15 20:33:52 UTC  

I entered the workforce right before a degree was 100% mandatory for my job

2018-08-15 20:33:53 UTC  

Sheer apathy.

2018-08-15 20:33:56 UTC  

now my resume speaks for itself

2018-08-15 20:34:13 UTC  

and I work for a huge tech company and basically could get hired anywhere

2018-08-15 20:34:20 UTC  

but I fear that option is limited now

2018-08-15 20:34:21 UTC  

I hate how I'm lectured to get a job, and denied the time to rebut them.

2018-08-15 20:34:39 UTC  

@ExceptionalFeather i'd say college should probably be closer to 10% of what is its today, yes. because it used to be like that.

2018-08-15 20:34:42 UTC  

"Can I explain how everything you just said was inapplicab-- Oh you're just gonna talk over me? Okay."

2018-08-15 20:34:43 UTC  

well, maybe not that much

2018-08-15 20:34:48 UTC  

but you get my point

2018-08-15 20:34:54 UTC  

So who is the one perpetrating the problem though?

2018-08-15 20:35:01 UTC  

The colleges.

2018-08-15 20:35:04 UTC  

basically everyone

2018-08-15 20:35:04 UTC  

I hope Mike Rowe's initiative actually makes waves.

2018-08-15 20:35:07 UTC  

They shouldn't be that expensive.

2018-08-15 20:35:23 UTC  

Mike Rowe is literally the only one talking about this right now

2018-08-15 20:35:25 UTC  

But they can charge more and get away with it.

2018-08-15 20:35:27 UTC  

Ultimately who is the one not hiring people without college degrees and why

2018-08-15 20:35:36 UTC  

a culture of pushing people to go to college, which lead to a shift away from why college was valuable
