Legitimately the most garbage reporting I have ever seen

"I wanted to build my own car, bought 40k worth of parts on debt, Decided it was too hard, now i am stuck with 40k loan"

if people said that we'd call them an idiot

Nah, there is a difference

Firstly no loan provider gives the full 40k right away

At best you would be in 1500$ debt

Maybe 3000$ if it was a University

If you went for a few months only

How the fuck is that person 40k in debt?

There is no way it's the student loans

Literally impossible

thats one years tuition at some places

But not one quarter

yeah but you pay for the full year

you pay at least for a semester usually

they may have paid for the full year

fun fact, in that college video they explain the very point at about 2 minutes :D

"College used to be for all the rich elites", yes cuz they had families that could afford it
right now, its poor people partaking in something costly that the rich can pay for, hence they have debt

in my dutch school you paid for the full year

before you even start

granted the money needed is considerably lower

tuition fee is ~2000 euros

so like 2500 dollars, for a full year

College used to be for rich kids and people who have established themselves

yes

now its treated like second high school with the same cost

thats what i said

💰

it used to be for those who can afford it

so obviously, those who can't afford it...

can't afford it

so they take loans, to get the money that the rich people already had

offering degrees that could be trade jobs or straight up are useless

remember when becoming an artist meant either figuring shit out for your own, or helping an actual artist?

an apprenticeship

now they are like "40,000 please" and you STILL end up needing to do most of the shit on your own or finding someone to understudy

well thats the thing

students are told "you pay, you get a degree, and then people want you to work for them"

it should actually be "You pay, you then get to work for your degree under some semblance of guidance, and then you have to find someone that is willing to pay you to work for them"

but that doesn't sound as inviting 😉

also, they're told every degree is worth as much

a degree in knitting, is equal to a degree in particle physics
