Work while in college.
Get a degree that MATTERS (future financial income)

Indeed. I think OP should explain it in better detail.

Clearly signing up for any loans isn’t this person’s fault and the robbery, therefore, isn’t this person’s fault either.

I made the same mistake. Got a History degree. I really didn’t know what I wanted to do in college. I just got a degree. I was brought up on the “get a degree or be a loser” mentality with no real clue what I wanted to do. Anyway, I got a job and started working. Bought a house and I’m getting married. What I didn’t do was make excuses for myself. I’m grinding everyday.

For the record, I know the link is not actually relevant to rising tuition costs.

Struggled with the title frankly. Was thinking that maybe:

"Disadvantaged urban youths struggle to break the mold in rapidly gentrifying East Nashville".

Or...

"White privilege: Blazing new frontiers in East Nashville".

Even..

"Tactical advantages of holding your weapon above your head".

But in the end, just went for the subject line that would get the most clicks.

they'll be giving out free college or handing out degrees in the near future in the socialist utopia the democrats have planned for us.

As expensive as tuition is (and was when I graduated), the ROI is still the best investment in my life. I’ve never once questioned “was it worth it” especially for undergrad.

I paid more than $100K for an MBA and generally think the value is there but it wasn’t nearly as important as a Bachelors.

Costs would stop rising if the government would allow banks to withhold money from students unlikely to pay them back.

If you allow banks to loan an unlimited amount of money to 18 year olds regardless of major and that money is backed by Uncle Sam, what's the incentive for colleges to reign in their prices?

Title should read "skyrocketing tuition costs is another ridiculous excuse for criminal behavior".

I came here expecting to find college girls looking for sugar daddies.

Yeah my slightly better than minimum wage job did not do dick to make a dent in the cost of college.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

How about some Romanian weather girl bloopers for your troubles?
