And going into debt seems to not be worth it to them

2018-07-04 10:10:06 UTC  

But we want *more* people who go to college

2018-07-04 10:10:14 UTC  

Do we?

2018-07-04 10:10:14 UTC  

and learn useful degrees

2018-07-04 10:10:21 UTC  

Here in sweden at least.

2018-07-04 10:10:36 UTC  

dunno about you amerimutts tho

2018-07-04 10:10:36 UTC  

It's only worth it if you earn lots of money when you finish your degree

2018-07-04 10:10:40 UTC  

I don’t know about you, but the tradesmen here are going to die out soon

2018-07-04 10:10:52 UTC  

The avg ages is like 45+

2018-07-04 10:10:54 UTC  

Yeah we complain that we dont train enough doctors and such and then make working class people pay to actually do the course

2018-07-04 10:11:01 UTC  

And then wonder why they dont

2018-07-04 10:11:02 UTC  

People go into higher education because they see it as a way of earning more money in the future

2018-07-04 10:11:06 UTC  

it's an investment

2018-07-04 10:11:21 UTC  

too bad some people can Never pay it off lmao

2018-07-04 10:11:37 UTC  

that's because they have worthless degrees

2018-07-04 10:11:43 UTC  

they can't get jobs with it

2018-07-04 10:11:47 UTC  

Or couldn’t find jobs

2018-07-04 10:12:05 UTC  

All I'm saying is that the more money you have, the more likely you are to go to uni because you can actually afford it and at that point it starts to become exclusionary

2018-07-04 10:12:44 UTC  

prices are high because of government involvement and universities really do take advantage of it

2018-07-04 10:12:59 UTC  

And there are those who go to college to pick up that piece of paper because everything was set up for them

2018-07-04 10:13:47 UTC  

A nation where you have to pay for university should not be considered a meritocracy

2018-07-04 10:13:56 UTC  

@NightOwl how much do British universities cost?

2018-07-04 10:14:04 UTC  

you take loans out

2018-07-04 10:14:05 UTC  

9000 quid a year

2018-07-04 10:14:06 UTC  

all depends

2018-07-04 10:14:12 UTC  

here

>A nation where you have to pay for university should not be considered a meritocracy
Nigga what

2018-07-04 10:14:25 UTC  

you have people with really good degrees with shitty jobs

2018-07-04 10:14:48 UTC  

it ain’t meritocratic tho. how would someone in poverty get in a uni?

2018-07-04 10:14:54 UTC  

they still need to eat

2018-07-04 10:14:56 UTC  

Because it deincentivises working class people from going

2018-07-04 10:15:05 UTC  

and don’t have time to work if they study

2018-07-04 10:15:14 UTC  

working class have access to university though
