  16.  @davidluong8370  You may not believe it but I'm not talking about you and those who go after specialised trades or careers. I'm talking about those who go to the top schools and study the humanities, social arts and some of the other specialities, like women's studies, philosophy or social work. They are jobs that have no future and either have little to no demand or command very little pay. They take on the same debt that you did and make a lot less money than what I do. My statements weren't overall generalities, but you can get degrees in nursing, engineering or computer sciences and do quite well for yourself with little debt. Also, my entire point isn't about what you spend on education but more about understanding value for your buck. I will lay odds that you're not the one complaining that you'll never be able to pay back your student loans because you're not making much more being a social worker than minimum wage. Why would you go to a prestigious university, spend all that money on a Bachelor's degree, when you could have spend WAY less on a diploma, in the same field, and worked right alongside the person from the fancy university. That's the common sense way of looking at it. I understand that if you want to be a doctor or lawyer or even a top notch engineering degree, that it'll cost, but they have high potential. Gender studies isn't something that's in high demand. One other thing, I don't care about how much money you have or what anyone else has. What gets me is that they feel entitled to that big degree in activism and then want me to pay for it. Then when I suggest that there are other ways to get to where you want, people get all defensive and act like I'm showing them up or something. Also, not everyone can be a lawyer or doctor. You don't want to be like Cuba where there are so many doctors that there are doctors driving cab or growing vegetables to make a living. There's such a thing as realistic goals and finding the best and most efficient ways to get there. Getting rich isn't the goal. It's more about feeling good about what you do and how it affects the things that matter most....your family for one thing.
