DeMotivators

Perhaps instead of enforcing the culture we have now, of going to college immediately after highschool, give a window of 6 years to start college, and when you do, you can put any loans you have on deferment (auto, home, etc). I think the biggest challenge anyone has is paying their debts while trying to go back to school. This isn't a great solution, and the interest would rack up, but they do it for the military when you join... perhaps extend that to kids that decide to defer college.

we just need to stop raising a bunch of dependant, self-hating pussies that are more afraid to "offend" someone than to move back in with the parents when they can't get a job because they majored in Art.

Or... Let's

A: Force a highschool class in buisness 101 to arm kids with the tools to decide if that college edumacation meets Cost vs Return. (80% does not)

B: Rein in the cost of an education, eliminate government subsidizing, actually bring value to the dollar spent for education.

you know school is the only thing where loans are given out for 10's of thousands of dollars with no security for a return on payment for something that may or may not aide in the repayment of said loan. furthermore these loans are given to people with literally no credit or work history. can't imagine why that doesn't work out better.

^ Pretty sure this is how colleges are using tuition money.

I had a nice long thing written up for this before my laptop crashed. In short, couple things to remember:
1) student loans are not forgiven and cannot be gotten rid of bankruptcy.
2) kids are told for 18 years that they have to go to college. You brainwash people for that long with that nonsense, tell them that there's no other way to get a job and not surprising that's where they go.
3) Colleges are big business now. Colleges get money based on how many kids pass, retention rate, etc. and are shoveled federal money for it ON TOP of charging other people for it. Of course the Fed doesn't want people to know about the high failure rate of college students (only around half of college students ever graduate, of those that do, only around half finish in 4 years.) Of course parents would be outraged if they knew these facts. High school and college advisors of course never mention it to students or parents.

Of course, when you have the majority of your workforce under the age of 40 still paying off loans in the tens of thousand of dollar range, they tend to bee just like worker bees. Quietly slaving away with whatever they're told to do. You don't have time for political activism when you're struggling just to keep above water. Helps keep things just the way they are.

Anyhow, back to teh funniez:
