Slave labor and you loved it.
My nephew is in his mid 30's. Until a year ago he was living with his mother to repay college loans. And mind you my sister and her ex also took out loans to pay some of that for him. If not for a very wealthy Uncle of his passing away, he probably would have had to live with my sister until his early 40's.
Yes, he has a Masters, but a lot of younger people are in his shoes.
I was a masonry contractor but before I was an electronnics tech and manged resturaunts in the early and mid twenties. Yes, there are lazy people and yes you should have the mentality of mind yer own fucking business.
It should not be this way, getting "ahead" should not put you in debt/servitude for 20 to 30 years. but somehow we have been programed to think this is the way it should be
Like I said earlier, no reason to attend college right from high school. And certainly working three or four years helps you mature to make the right choices in life while at the same time allows you to build funds in which to attend college without that massive debt.
What’s the Christian stuff about? I don’t see where my religion is relevant.I never insulted you I stated the facts, you are the one looking to insult someone you have no idea about. You really don't know shit because you have never lived it. You have never walked a mile in their shoes, at least you don't claim to be a Christian.
yeah, working 3 or 4 years at minimum wage is a great way to save 20 to 80 grand....
Why would they have to work for minimum wage?
No. You’ve seen me say that low-paid workers who want to earn more should take advantage of Pell Grants and acquire a job skill. I know they can do it, because I’ve seen it done many times before. THAT would benefit them much more than the left wingers who say, “here….we’ll give you more money, poor thing.”We have seen your lack of compassion and condescending blame the victim attitude towards the poor
And P.S. Where’s your compassion for the small business owner who will lose his business, after years of sacrifice and hard work and risk, and after hanging on by a thread through COVID shutdowns, because you want him to pay more than marker rate to people with minimal job skills?We have seen your lack of compassion and condescending blame the victim attitude towards the poor
because that is what is offered unskilled, uneducated, no experience people like those coming right out of high school
I’m all for that. In fact, I think it would be a good idea to require every 18-year-old to live at home and work a full-time job for one year. She would be able to save enough to almost cover the first year of college, and he would appreciate the opportunity to learn a valuable career after having just spent a year doing a “low-skill” job. Bet we’d have fewer “General Studies” majors.Like I said earlier, no reason to attend college right from high school.

Yes but if you read up on minimum wage workers most don't work minimum after six months with the same company. And not every starter job is minimum wage. For instance Walmart, Target, even McDonald's all start out far above minimum wage in most places, and in some cases double of minimum wage.
You just don't like my idea because it's pragmatic and would work very well.
C’mon. People on this forum have said that ad infinitum. I’m not going to do a search.
So you tell me: what should the “livable” lifestyle of the kid who works the drive-though at McDonalds consist of?

Yup. No sympathy for hard-working business owners - only contempt.Yes
I have “sympathy” for the small business owner who has benefitted from a minimum wage frozen for 12 years and who received a 40 percent tax cut in 2017
Where is your compassion for low wage workers who must go into debt to afford college or the taxpayers who must subsidize low wage workers with food stamps, housing subsidies and healthcare because employers refuse to pay a livable wage

Not sure what you mean by National Service, by if it’s military, I’m all for that. Israel does that with its high school grads.How about 3 to 4 years of National Service for everyone after high school?
