Quote from wilburbear:
Had lunch with a guy this weekend, he said he wishes he just gave his kid $100,000 instead of paying it to some school and the kid still can't find a job - though the kid does know what the European capitols are.
Colleges are even a bigger negative on a relative basis. Now there's this for young people:

College is not worth it if you are a low IQ fool who prefers to spend time partying . For a intelligent kid with life goals it's more than worth the price. If I had a intelligent kid going to college the. Subjects I'd recommend: engineering, acturial science, doctor, dentist, chiropractor, optometrist, pharmacist. If I had a fool kid wanting to go to college, I'd tell him to get a 2 year certificate in plumbing or HVAC. Or help him buy a small franchise like pest control or help him set up a insurance agency. Fact is some kids have no business being in college. The govtm should eliminate college loans for the stupid. College has become another avenue to pile on debt on the unwashed indentured masses.
