Every Broke College Student Needs to Hear This News ...

So America is socialist now?

I live in Australia, and we allow you to go to uni (college) and not pay tuition fees until you are earning $50k per annum, so you can pay it off yourself once you're better prepared, instead of paying upfront like in America.

@k-dizzle Same in my state. I don't think you understand how expensive college is. For my career I need to go to a university. Community colleges only offer associate degrees which are worth little to nothing. Instate? Pfft. Still costs around 20,000 to 60,000. Even with fafsa and scholarships, you still need to pay thousands upfront. If college becomes more affordable, it's not out of your taxes, it's on the taxes of the top 1%. Don't come around with you self righteous bullshit if all you're going to say is that people just shouldn't go to college in pursuit of their careers and dreams if they don't have the money. Because not many have the money, even with tons of financial aid and scholarships. Very very very very few get full rides to colleges off of some scholarship, those aren't just handed out. You compete for them with thousands of others.

It is what it is... Your education is forever! Just don't major in "decision "sciences as list in one of the 33 strange majors.

I agree to a certain extent; however some companies will pay for a student to go for free or just give them a scholarship or grant In return they will be employed by the company I wish more companies did this because college is expensive

If students don't pay for their own tuition then who does? The government? That'll sure fix the $18 trillion debt!👍

@k-dizzle That's WAY easier said than done. You need an education to get a career unless you have some kind of connection to larger businesses. It's not easy, every college in America is expensive even if it's community. Don't be so condescending when people can't afford things, not everyone is so damn fortunate.

America has always been capitalist with socialist tendencies just think about all the government funded groups I don't think it would hurt to cut back in certain areas to help college kids

College definitely should be lowered. All of my paychecks go towards tuition and I only have about $3 left for myself. It induces sadness

The US federal gov't is currently trying trying to help all US public community colleges become tuition-free. This would allow students to graduate either w/ an associate degree, get major job training, or have 2 years of basic requirements complete enroute to a 4-yr degree. (California did this for years until a disastrous tax change ruined it, in part.) College costs, IMO, have become a disgrace & will ultimately harm the American future in many ways.
