    While IPs folks who cannot find a school to to attend and escape poverty apparently can locate a CVS.

    We need to double down on subsidizing it.

    People are going about it all wrong.

    The stigma attached to labor jobs is ridiculous. Go to school for welding, pipe fitting, HVAC tech, plumbing or concrete work. There's tons of money waiting to be made for people that don't mind doing labor intensive work. Instead, people fill their kids' heads up with the rosy idea that a 4 year degree leads to an office job making 6 figures automatically.

    I never understand rioting.

    And that mom was awesome. I love her trying to pull his mask off of his head.

    Jemele Hill just on SportsCenter that it's not rioting, just an uprising. I seriously hate that woman.

    I'm constantly reminding my wife's 20 something cousins that we weren't making big money out of college either. they not only expect high paying jobs immediately, they also expect to be managers and are unwilling to work their way up.

    I mean, nothing makes people want to listen to you like burning down a senior citizen center built by volunteers.

    I think you're a bit out of touch. First off, tuition is a lot more expensive than it was 15 or 20 years ago. And I think generally people just want to be entry level at whatever it is they do, and often can't find that. Admittedly, I don't know many people who graduate in good majors and don't find decent jobs, I'm just using the larger narrative here.

    I get aggravated at the English, psychology, sociology, art, communications etc majors that expect high end jobs in general. You got a degree that is an entry to grad school, not a degree that's an entry to the workforce.

    Is that screwed up? I guess, but you have to make yourself marketable.

    I graduated in the fall of 2008, shit was hitting the fan and jobs were scarce. It hasn't gotten much better, but it is improving.

    you have to be smart about borrowing money. go to community college for two years and transfer if you can't afford tuition.

    outside of the late 90s the college grad unemployment rate today isn't materially higher than historically and the average starting salary is at an all time high, but try to get anyone to believe it. 2008 happened, but we aren't in 2008. hell I graduated in 1999, the peak of the labor bubble in the area that most benefited from the dot com insanity, and we pay people straight out of college at least $10k more than I made.

    the federal government’s student financial aid programs has made college more expensive and is weakening the whole system.

    I made more money before college than after. I guess my expectations were too high.
