Dude in what universe would parents allow their kid to live in their house for 5 years rent free and any other expenses paid? There is nothing practical about this idea for people in general.Lol um doing that would pay for like 1 year of college, if that. It’s not people have the luxury to do that anyway.Yeah obviously it’s better not to take the loan, but the point is, in order to get a full education they must. Doesn’t that seem wrong to you? Educated people benefit society in general.Then they shouldn’t take the loan.
Besides, that’s idiotic left-wing propaganda that you were too stupid to recognize. I’ve known hundreds of people with college loans (including physicians with over $250,000 in loans) and every last one of them was able to pay it back.
You are too stupid to recognize the difference between “unable to” and “not wanting to”.
Right, and if government doesn't educate them, they can't do it themselves. So what's wrong with graduating high school, living with your parents for five years, and in that time, work your ass off 50 hours a week and save that money? You would only be 23 years old when you start college.
Okay, so let's say somebody does exactly what I suggest. Their first year of working they make about 25K. After they get some experience at something, they make 30K. Maybe for the next three years, they make 35K.
That's about 135K in those five years. Minus taxes, say about 90K. But....if you invested that money the entire time, maybe you made another 5K on that.
So 95K will pay for a good chunk of your education. Plus you can still work on the weekends and part-time at night to sustain you the rest of the way through college.
What are you talking about? Ever read anything about younger people these days? People are living with their parents longer than anytime in history, with or without college. So what I'm proposing is probably a situation most younger people have available. Hell, my nephew is still living with his mother, and he's 35.
