Answer me this, is anybody being compelled, by force, to go to college?
Yea at least 5% of the population
Please cite to me where anybody is being *forced* to go to college
I am one of them..
So somebody *forced* you to go to college? How so, exactly?
My pare said Trade School is a joke you arent going to get anywhere. And that if you dont go to college you wont be able to live here. It was either that or be homeless
That's not "forced" to go to college, lol. As an adult, nothing was stopping you from getting a minimum wage job and living within your means
I tried enlisting but recruiters tend to care mostly about their promotion.
So just be homeless ?
Really good Idea
No money and try to figure out where I would live
No? What stopped you from finding a minimum wage job and getting your own place? lol
Wait you had *NO* money saved before you turned 18?
???????????????
Literally 300 dollars to my name
Yea, I'm sorry to say, but that sounds like a fault of yourself, to only have a couple hundred dollars saved by the time you turn 18
Sure ok
I'm not claiming you have to be a millionaire but shit, even a couple grand is enough to get off on your own and find a job
Well sometimes you gotta make sacrifices for your own. My family didnt have that privilege. We barely made ends meet and so I had to help out then and there in the end only 300 dollars to my name.
A household with two parents couldn't make ends meet? With both working?
They apparently made enough combined that you didn't qualify for assistance, which means they made a decent amount, since the threshold is pretty high
Which is bullshit because I know how much they made and FAFSA needs to fix their shit because they dont know what poverty is
With, apparently 4-5 jobs worth of wages being put into this household (3 with your dad, 1 with you, and sometimes 1 with your mom) what was going on that couldn't make ends meet?
I dont feel comfortable sharing that info. All I am saying is that we tried hard to make it past the poverty line and ended up short.
Luckily my dad got a job with the goverment and my mom works with local government but I had to pay the price.
Anyway, my point being, that doesn't really add up. Nobody literally forced you to go into debt, there are other paths to life then the cookie cutter highschool > college degree > job. Trust me, I get shitty circumstances, I really do, but putting off the burden to somebody else isn't the solution.
Not everyone has the ability to. Its case by case.

@Billcat British Tuition Fees is basically just scamming the Government
Because most people don't even have to pay them off fully
national debts will push us to WW3 in long run
countries will blame somebody for their debts
and the path for war will be short
technology is progressing, but humans can't evolve that fast
their responses are similar to the responses of humans 2000 years ago
therefore the history repeat itself in a certain way
@ImP0steR technology is harmful for pypo reversing the industrial revolution is the only way
technology might get us back if the big weapons will be used one day
Globalization is dangerous, but beneficial. It can't decide
No
