1. That’s a good thing, to many people attend and there to many junk majors.

2. This sub would be measurably improved if meaningless garbage numbers like “living paycheck to paycheck” were prohibitied.

3. I get it. Going way into debt so you can just be unemployed seems like a pretty bad plan.

   I think we should make college free. Having a well educated work force benefits the entire society, so encouraging more folks to go to more school is good.

4. So are they cutting out loan repayments or not going to college?

5. Were people saving money before and just decided to stop?

6. Millennials have been out of college for a decade.

7. “The economy is BOOMING!!!! Why is nobody giving Biden CREDIT!!?!1!1??!?!?!1!11!! 😭😭😭”

8. We need to get everyone to understand that college is a tool out of many that can be used to attain success, not a requirement.

   I think we need to strip away all the bullshit and give the advice straight up. It’s not about the degree or the company you work for. It’s about mastering a skill or set of skills and leveraging that for money. However you achieve that is up to you. That’s it.

9. I just choose a different bill to be late on each month so nothing goes to collections.
