It is no one else’s burden unless you bargain for it and pay for it. People aren’t responsible for you, not even your parents once you become an adult. You can purchase responsibility with money and other barter but no one has a duty to look after your needs unless they voluntarily assume it in a contractual relationship where the duty is valued and somehow paid for accordingly. You might counter with “tuition is paying for a course”, and it is but only to deliver the advertised content of that course. If you want the universities to assume a higher responsibility towards the students, the students have to bargain for it ahead of time.
Where in the hell were her parents.
When my daughter was looking at schools, I sat her down with a calculator. As someone who was pretty high up in a regional bank, I knew what I was talking about.
The cost of an education, aside from a specialty such as engineer or MD, is not directly correlated to the income you can get from that education.
I showed her what four years at $45,000 would cost her in loans. Then I showed her what four years of state colleges would cost her. Then we looked at monthly loan payments. She would have to make almost $10-15,000 a year upon graduation MORE before taxes, to break even. And that doesnt count the opportunity savings/costs associated with getting out debt free.
And she thought she was going to make that in TV?
This chick is a moron of the highest degree. I guess that would a PhD Moron
