Because the American government only supports private money. This year they gave a massive tax cut to corporations. Instead of raising wages, the corporate CEOs bought back their own stocks in mass amounts and made themselves even richer. Following, the government canceled the pay raise for federal workers. The American government doesn't care about you. The more in debt you are, the easier you are able to control and turn into a complacent consumer.

College is expensive because of guaranteed payment of loans by the government. How is this complicated to you brainlets? Most goods and services have been cheaper when adjusted for inflation. The surety of payment to the college and banks by the fed only bolsters their lack of regard for price. Banks can cut any retard with an 80 iq a loan and not have to worry if he will graduate and get a job. Where they should be looking at your credentials like you would if you applied for a mortgage.

He's right though. College is a joke. Everything you can learn in college you can teach yourself from books, working on your own projects, and by joining groups in your surrounding area (if you live in a city). Why would you pay $750,000 in college loans for something you can just teach yourself for free. If you have to go to college to learn, you already know your future; a complacent, beaten down wage slave. The ones who set the trend, who build their own path, are the ones who take the initiative to learn and build on their own, out of their own passion. They don't need to pay someone to do it for them and go into massive debt doing so.

As much criticism as the government deserves, they truly are stuck between a rock and a hard place with college tuition.
If they do not offer easy access to student loans, they will be criticized for blocking poor and non-white kids from higher education.
If they do open the floodgates to student lending (our current situation), we expose students to predatory lending that does not consider the borrower's ability to pay.
The government should have just subsidized private loans to keep the interest down and give some protections to private lenders. But they went ham and made student loans federally-backed and non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Same. I went to university as a computer science major, information systems minor for a year and then left because it was a fucking joke and tuition was disgusting. Half the teachers only taught via powerpoints and multiple choice tests, the bulk of the student population was normalfag morons who were more focused on partying than studying, etc..

After about a year and a half of studying on my own, I had all the basics of computer logic down, and was doing various projects on a Thinkserver homeserver I built out and coding some cheesy Android apps to help generate some passive income. I joined a hackerspace near me and started working with people on projects there too. Two years after leaving college, I got a tech support job from a friend at the hackerspace and worked there for a year. I then got a NOC job and and stayed there for about another year, then got a Sys Admin job for a small company. That's where I am now and I'm pretty much the CTO at this point, doing a mix of mostly net and sys admin work. I'm making $104k + bonuses and can work from home a decent amount of time. I'm using some of the free time I have at work to studying more on DevOps, so I can switch to that eventually, as I know a lot of sys admin jobs are going that way.

College is a fucking meme. It's just a scam to con plebs who lack self sufficiency and the ability to learn on their own into owing massive amounts of debt. If you need to go to college to succeed, you have failed.

You guys are all fucking retarded. I guess no one in this thread ever stopped to think and ask the question, "Why is tuition so expensive in the first place?" Pro tip: tuition used to be dirt cheap, but gets more expensive each year as a direct result of government intervention.

>>10901297
It literally would. In a free market system, universities would compete with one another to be more efficient and less expensive, to attract more students and make more money overall. But in the current system, no one has to compete because government props them up with subsidies, grants, and federal loans to kids who are way too young to understand the implications of said loans.

I can't tell if you're trolling or that fucking retarded. How the fuck do you think the cost of college in the US got to this point in the first place? When there weren't any guaranteed loans, tuition was a fraction of what it currently is. Being able to pay a year's worth of tuition with a summer job was a real thing and not just some boomer meme. Ask yourself this, if universities kept tuition where it is without any guaranteed student loans, what percentage of their student body would still be enrolled? Considering most people in the USA don't have enough saved for $500 dollar emergency, I'd say it would be pretty fucking low. They would have to cut back on spending and slash tuition in order to get people enrolled in their programs. People living in poverty could still be able to afford college by working over the summer or through college if there were no guaranteed student loans.

What do you think caused it? The Government offering 100% guaranteed loans to anyone is how so many people were able to take out more money than they could ever pay back. Most of these people should not have gone to college (because no loan available) and thus you wouldn't need a degree to do every little job, it would still only be the top 10 or 20% of people getting them and most people could live happily working 4 years earlier and never taking on debt.

Stop begging for the government to get involved in competition-based venues, the government causes these problems.
