College May Become Unaffordable for Most in U.S.

Quote from FerdinandAlx:

I pay €1544 per annum in tuition fees to attend a prominent research university in the Netherlands. I will graduate with degrees in law and philosophy.

This seems like a very reasonable tuition. To pay more is to be over charged. There's absolutely no good reason to go into debt for $100,000 or more to pay for a university education, earning power least of all. $100,000 properly invested will yield a greater return over the span of 30 years than a salaried income will.

Marijuana is legal in the Netherlands as well.

Where do recent high school graduates with no college earn 50K a year (at total of 250K) within their first five years out of high school?

My cousin has only worked one job. He started out as a cook at the Cheesecake Factory when he was 16. He was a manager at 21 and at 29 he is a GM for them, making just at 200k a year. I don't know how this year will turn out for him but it surely will be more than 50k a year. Point being, there are opportunities out there for those that don't have a degree.

After completing two Masters, I believe college is a stepping stone for most unless we are talking about a learned profession (Doctor, Attorney, CPA)...Well I guess everything could be a learned profession but you know what I mean.

College taught me a few basic things...How to build a two story beer bong and...well I can't think of the others. Just kidding.

As I look at the current college students, damn they get dumber and dumber by the year! We had a nation wide test not to long ago, referred to as the...'election'. That should say enough. LOL
 
Well, a lotta these kids are going to get a real education soon . . . . . in the school of hard knocks.

Damned, I sound like my hard nosed uncles when they talked to me as a kid ! (Dad wasn't a business guy. But had lots of other kinds of experience as a career soldier who had been shot at in various places around the world in a few wars & police actions.) - - -

I love it!

Here is my take: If your employer can not tell the difference between you not having an actual college degree/education and having one, then really, what is the point of having one???

I had a friend who already had a business degree from Europe, got another one here in the US and went to work for a bank. When I asked if her knowledge was really needed she said anyone with a high school degree could do her job.

So the degree needed only for the entry, not for the job itself...
