Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 4371184, member: 191"] Kids are in debt in 6 figures for jobs that pay $40k a year. The notion that everyone needs college is stupid. You can learn so much on Youtube now that it can replace college. My kids have learned about Foreign Exchange Trading, Options, etc., and are now doing some light trading to get experience before they invest more. No college needed. Now we have a President burdening taxpayers for the loans that people had to take out to pay for degrees that don't pay back enough money. For a large number of college grads, the ROI is negative. Because of the availability of student loans, the cost of college has skyrocketed, far above inflation. ( The same result with medical care and insurance, btw.) Anecdotally, this weekend we met a young lady who is paying $80k a year to get a performance and music education degree. Crazy. [/QUOTE]
