So we’d be back to only the rich going to college? Brilliant!!


No. Only the rich and those that earn a scholarship go to schools like Yale.

It used to be that you could work your way through college with a job on the side and a summer job. It should return to that.

And College is not a necessity to succeed anyway.

That can still be done with the right major. Junk majors should be eliminated or limited to students with cash up front.

My son took out very few student loans. He had some scholarships and got a college job in his field that paid very well, enough to cover his last two years of school. He also lived and still lives very frugally.

He had about $30,000 in debt, mostly to us. He paid it all of in just a few days over one year after graduation.
