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
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
and ofc its easier to say "society/the government screwed me" rather than "I made an oopsie"
i went to college with a plan and i made sure that even during the recession that the field i was aiming for was growing
most people don't it seems
no plan, no research
so did i
I went to college in a STEM field specifically, to ensure i will always be required in society
a bunch of high school kids who though the real world was still 4 years away
ironically i was done with school and wanting to work the moment i graduated high school
so my 4 years of college was me just being annoyed at still needing to do school work instead of working full time.
