RE: Desperately Looking For More Construction Workers
college is a very strong draw for many reasons that are not education.
Yep, and the government dangles the slave carrot called Student-Loan Debt under the nose of the hungry rabbits ready to fly the coop. And, the rest is history...a lifetime of unforgiveable debt.
Peace.
This is very true, the availability of fast money that isn't earned will be paid for over a life time.
I'll reword to say:
The availability of fast money (in form of a loan) may be paid for over a life time.
Wow. This should be posted on every fridge door. Many thanks! ✌
You worded it a little better, but yes, kids everywhere growing up should be reminded of this concept when they are looking down the barrel of a student loan with a casual 10% interest rate that starts the day you sign for it!
@tschelpps This knowledge has to be taught, starting as early as 4th grade, 10-11 years of age, when they are still malleable.
An 18 yo is tone deaf to anything anti their agenda.
However, if children are taught the cost of a government-loan in pictures and diagrams, fewer would be interested, and make alternate plans for defining higher ed, i.e. self-taught techies, trade school.
Thanks for chiming in.
Peace.
