Same, and then we are told that we are just lazy cause we can't do that same thing. And then they criminalize people for losing their house when interest rates go up and companies lay off tens of thousands of workers. Or when covid hit and everyone lost their income/health insurance during a pandemic.

Yeah going to college these days is no different than going to the casino, except that college costs more and you are gambling with your future. Living entirely off of loans for 4-5 years and then hoping that you can get lucky enough to actually get a job that requires that degree and allows you to make enough to pay off those insane loans and be able to afford to live. I keep almost going back to college but then I just can't get over the cost and the anxiety that that amount of debt will feel like crushing all my bones into a pulp. And then I see all my college grad friends and only 1 of them has a job even remotely linked to his degree (which is forestry and he lives in the UP in MI so I think that's a better shot than most degrees).
