"The pin-striped men of morning,
Are coming forth to dance.
Forty-million dollars,

[EDIT] A DD!!!!!!! Holy Moly. Im always critical of DD's. I feel like they (the moderator featurer people) should be a bit more stingy with how its given out, and how many per day... and for what (quality and subject). Nevertheless...
Thanks a bunch to the suggester and the feature man for the honor.
I humbly accept and thank God for the blessing.

First off... your stats aren't correct. While the average cost of tuition nationally is up (faster than the rate of inflation) the effective tuition rate (average discount rate as it's commonly referred to) is increasing at approximately the same as inflation. Factoring in government subsidies, scholarships, etc, students are paying approximately the same rates adjusted for inflation.
These same snowflakes are driving up costs of a university experience due to their unrealistic demands. Housing quality and dorm life is now more extravagant than prior generations, lab costs and the cost of providing the education have gone up, and classroom space that once only needed a chalk board is required to have video-projection, smartboards, audio visual assistance, meet ADA demands, have wifi, and classroom wide electrical outlets for laptops.
Should Miss Snowflake, shown in the picture, choose to get a job instead of taking classes in socialism for dummies, she might be able to afford clothing. Work for a living first like my generation has... don't demand that others pay for your reckless behavior.

I also had high tuition fees but then I started a business and paid them off.
It all depends on what a person is studying and how they use it.

I'm sure she'll be a professor one day and let her students decide what to pay her for her services. She can re-use this box and just change "pay tuition!" to "Educate a bunch of self-important brats." If the gov makes it easy to get loans to pay for 'education', the schools can charge more than they would otherwise. If she doesn't understand 'supply & demand' I'm sure they'll let her go back to grade school for the 15 minutes it should take to explain that. She's an idiot and she'll get a job that reflects that reality, just like the 3,057 idiots that faved this, so far... You might as well protest mortality while you're at it.

While tuition these days is pretty terrible (is was pretty good in the 80's when we had you-know-who for president), you're not selling your clothes for tuition. If it was really that bad you'd do something about that SMART PHONE of yours. Guess what? I'm a 23-year-old American male. I have a flip phone and I'm doing JUST FINE. I don't need the iPhone because I think for myself thank you very much.

I don't think she really sold her clothes, she's just making a statement. :U

I wish you success and for you to know that picketing, marching and boycotting is what we did as a youth and got everything people enjoyed up to recently and now they are back enslaving us all again to work for nothing and steal every bit of wealth from us they can. Our lying thieving crooked politicians as well as most of the corporate leaders now own more wealth than the next 268,000,000 workers and most college degrees today will STILL only get you cheap paying, part time work in many areas.
Thanks for DOING something instead of playing a fool on facebook all day long. Nice work.

Still wondering how I can put my son through one day. He is 8 currently, and I am saving, but... wow...

Help him find an apprenticeship, or go to a field where you can learn on the job.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but will that set him up as well as a degree? I am a carpenter, apprenticed with the Amish, and can teach him... BUT... to open a general contracting business today, I would have to put up a $100,000 bond for insurance or have one underwritten. That costs FAR too much when you are first starting.
The current administration is STRANGLING small business by requiring all the things a large business can afford right from the start. (As if a politician or lawyer knows a DAMN thing about swinging a hammer... makes me sick that people LET, even WANT, government in their lives.) As a result, I am stuck hiring myself out as "skilled labor" to others, saving to start up my own business, and working ANOTHER full-time job.
How do I start up my business, save for his school, and LIVE when I am already doing one full-time and two part-time jobs? My hope... he enjoys carpentry as I do, and we pool our money and start the business together when he is a little older. BUT... if he doesn't want that, I will send him to school and let my dream die.

Don't. When he's old enough to understand, begin talking to him. If he's smart enough to go to college, he's smart enough to understand math.
If he goes to work learning a trade, in four years he could:
Own a decent car.
Have purchased a home (with a bank loan).
Have started a family.
Have four years of work experience.
Etc, etc.
If he goes to college, after four years, he could:
Be $100,000 in debt.
Have exhausted your life's savings.
Own nothing more than an outdated cell phone and some clothing.
Have really poor job prospects, with no experience.
Who knows, after four years of college, his best bet might be to go to work with you, only then he'll be in debt and you'll have no savings.
If he does want to go to college, he should wait a few years anyway. He'll be more mature, able to make better choices, and be better positioned to re-enter the work force with a better understanding of just what an employer expects from him. And you'll probably have your own business.
Tell him to learn accounting.

I would LOVE for him to get into drafting. Ideal thing for me. He designs it, I build it. But, statistically, college grads make more money. I want him to be the best prepared for life that I can do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just remember, the statistics include the elite colleges. If you look at state colleges, the difference in lifetime earnings isn't that great. There are a lot of trades that make more than the average college graduate.
Just as an example, if he went to truck driving school, after one year's experience, he could easily earn over $50,000 a year. Of course, the hours stink...
But when his buddies were graduating and looking for a job, he would already be $150,000+ ahead and they would probably never catch up. Not when they're starting out at around $24,000 that is.

No you didn't sell your clothes to pay tuition, and if you really can't afford clothes they you really don't know how to stretch a dollar. I can get a full suit, in my size, on a $20 budget.
This is just a bad way to make a political statement, more about attention than substance. If you want substance you'd be informing people about the poor quality of american colleges then couple that with the rates of privately owned and operated universities. Maybe contrast it with employers desire for recognition over qualifications (they'd rather hire someone with a fake degree from harvard than a real degree from a college no one has heard of.)

I know college was too expensive for me too. Everything is money, money, money. And the everyday people who justify this madness... I'm a little unnerved about that.
How long does anyone have on earth? Maybe the greedy can dream of enjoying their big stacks of money they grubbed through usury and deception in hell when they're in a pine box. (and I'm not even a religious person saying this)
Please excuse my rant and carry on.

I don't have enough room here to tell you the reasons....but to put it in as few words as possible you can view my poem "Liberal Christian" and it will tell you.
Peace.
