Somehow people think a college education is a must. A gotta have it regardless of cost. Halfway through most find it difficult and switch majors three or four times to ease the burden and come out with a degree in 4th. Century Tibetan Poetry or something similar. Best thing is a two year community college AA and then go for what you really want. There’s lots of people out there with a Yale or Harvard degree in something flipping burgers.
Here is a solution....along with the next overdue notice send along a form to either pay up or sign up for a domestic draft. Give em a shovel and send them off to an Obama shovel ready job site so they can dig themselves out of debt.
But the kids don’t want to live at home and go to the local community college.
If people had *any* idea of how many of these college students are living they would be shocked. Forget about sharing a dorm room with another student. LOL. It’s an apartment with a big screen, stereo, and mary jane.
A full load is now four courses so there is plenty of time to party every night, sleep late in the morning, go to the gym and then take a nap before getting ready to party again. Forget out school. Few exams, attendance not required, and download a paper or two from the internet.
If you think I am kidding, go to any college town CVS. See how much space is devoted to ‘personal products’ and now much space is devoted to candy.
No wonder kids want to go to college! And the government (us) pays for it.
