re: Random thoughts from attending my niece's graduation from LSU.

I think part of the problem is that college kids don't want to work. That's become the norm. And it's fricking wrong. Sure college can be about "discovering yourself". You can discover yourself while working 20 hours a week at the local grocery store or a restaurant. It's not fricking hard. But the standard has been set that for a large percentage of people, it's been set that you shouldn't work in school.

This is part of the reason why kids can go to a state school and rack up 30k+ in loans. I got a great job out of college. Even with my "great job" I couldn't imagine paying 300-400 a month in student loans.i do the get why so many people resort to that. It should be a very last choice.
