I'm an engineer dipshit, I make things that power our society, saves people's lives, don't kill anyone in the process, and the chances of getting an engineering job without a degree are slim to none. I probably make 3 times what you do on a good day and yet my student loans are more expensive than my meager housing in one of the most expensive counties in the country (I live here to be able to pay for my student loans).

You can blow your "understanding" out of your ass right along with your shitty commentary. Then you can shove it back up your ass and twist it sideways so it doesn't become dislodged again. Just about the only way I could imagine you looking like a bigger plutocratic puppet is if a Rothschild or one of those jag-offs from Prager U helped you with that.

Most professors are not making hundreds of thousands a year, especially with the rise of adjunct professors taking their place and being paid a fraction of a real salary for that position without benefits. The cost associated with college is primarily on the rise due to administrative positions.

Student loans are paid off multiple times before you are done. Libor is not your friend.

Nevermind that there are many places in the world that do not encumber their students with such oppressive debt loads, and they tend to have excellent economies:

No need to get angry & butthurt, bro! I know that some jobs--for various, usually govt.-related reasons--require a degree. I'm sorry that--in this statist system--you were forced to overpay for an education that, in a free-market, probably would've been 1/10 cheaper. At least I now know why you're so keen on getting 'free' shite from the Daddy/Mommy State!

Unlike you I chose NOT to overpay for a degree & went straight into the workforce after high school...also unlike you I don't whine about the decisions I made or expect someone else to pay for them...I also live in an expensive SoCal beach city (I own my own home--bought near the bottom of the last real estate crash) and get by fine on my middle-of-the-road income...despite living in Socialist/Progressive shithole California! Having discipline & a self-taught understanding of economics/investing has paid off quite nicely for me.

Sorry, but its govt. that has driven up the cost of education...and which also guarantees loans (w/o this banks wouldn't lend $10,000's to 18 y.o.'s coming out of high-school) & makes it illegal to discharge student loan-debt via bankruptcy.

Its also the unbelievably shitty socialist K-12 schools which fail so badly at preparing people for life that are at fault...over this time the govt. spends around $150,000/student for...what? Basic reading & math skills (if that)?

Dude, you are barking up the wrong tree...

Does she think holding this sign up is going to help anything? Who does she think signed the loan docs?

That shadow you cast shows says more about your own foolishness than building any sort of credibility.

I came across this Poets Code of Ethics by the Twilight Club from last century, with none other than Walter Russell. Cool synchronicity?

But since we're dialoguing through memes:
