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
And...
If you were running a university, strapped for operating cash like everyone else, wouldn’t you simply raise your tuition to match any increased tax credit, or reduction in student loan costs?
For the most part, college is a racket. I look back at what I learned, and the most important classes for me were the ROTC Leadership classes, and my Business Taxation class. One taught me not to be a victim. And so did the other.
I a have counseled many a youngster to look into the ROTC for a real education. There is no better way to get through med school or engineering than the ROTC. The life skills that military provides are invaluable, unlike the drivel pedaled by degree mills staffed by educrats.
