Let student loan interest rates rise to market levels. That should make the 60% of students who shouldn't be in college think twice. And for the love of Emma Goldman, do not help your kids pay them off or let them live at home for free while they do.
By the way, do you know how much plumbers and electricians make by doing honest labor? Call some and find out. You can't outsource shit or wires. Just a thought.
mortgage market levels are at 3.66 how about we set them there... and why is it always plumbers etc are called "honest" work .. and college educated are intimated not to be ... I mean do you see what plumbers and electricians charge for what they really do?

OK, double the market rate on student loans. Whatever works.
DeleteWhat they really do is necessary. What college professors do is mostly not. Talking to glazed-eyed morons hardly qualifies as real work. What we mostly do is perpetuate the criminal lie that they will get a "good job" by getting a degree. It's been a scam for a while and is getting worse. Unless you are getting a degree in something real, plumbing is a better deal.
