It's always some conservative pervert obsessed with "gender studies".

If you want to pay to learn about something, pay for it. If you expect to earn a living, then you better choose something worthwhile.

There are a million things you could learn about and turn into a successful career without resorting to memes.

The college isn't responsible for making sure you will have a career afterwards, just like everything else you buy. How you use it is your problem.

Why do we have a massive college debt problem? Greed and shitty parenting.

No one said that. You're trying to split a hair here that doesn't exist.

It doesn't matter why you want more, only what effort you are willing to put in to obtain it.

*Going* to college isn't the goal, actually learning something valuable while you are there is.

Knowledge isn't sold to you. You buy access to it. You can only get out of "education" what you put into it.

Every person that thinks their education was a waste of time was probably right. They had no interest in learning, so they didn't. That's not the fault of higher education.

Going to college isn't a box you check, it's hard work you take on to further your goals in life. If 51% if these nimrods think they would be better off without it, they are factually too stupid for me to care about their opinion.
