One of my guy's has a degree in Technology. He did work for the district a few years back and got his degree. Most of the tech work he did was boom and bust. He'd get contracted to do something, and when the project was done he'd be laid off. He finally decided to come back into the District because it's a steady income. He's a great guy all my venting aside.Amen. And I might add, I was rifling through applications that required GED's and most applicants had BA's. By the end, as I got to know the new guys and gals better, they were on average $25,000 dollars in debt from college loans before they hit the ground running. I can't help but feel that is an injustice.
When it all boils down, the tension I felt was very similar to that which I felt with my own children. A natural generational disconnect.
I think the way Student Loans are run is awful, and a way for the Banks to lock you into their system. I finished paying mine off awhile back, and for awhile I thought my debt would outlast me. I kick myself for what I spent a lot of it on. Things like a ten keg Watneys beer party.
