[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1560942, member: 8265"] This may not apply to you, but needs said. Universities are overpriced. Tuition has gone up 3 times the inflation rate. In 5 years, tuition doubled for my daughters at WA State. I had an old professor tell me he paid for school by hand milking cows at night. No longer possible. I am surrounded by people (including myself) who didn’t use their degree. Many are in debt which makes life hard. Girls are taught to ignore their biology and pursue careers only. During college, I overheard my daughters saying they really just wanted to stay home and have babies, which they are now doing while husbands pay their debt. A friend’s wife got masters degree,$60,000 debt, and now begs him to make more money so she can stay home with kids. She hates her job. Another guy said his brother spent $100,000 putting daughter through engineering school. She went straight to having babies and never plans to work. Not many young people look to the end of the road. They are just told they have to do college. Learning is good, but it can be done in different ways. If you want college to find a guy, go there, get a job in ag dept, read books in spare time. Get married to ag guy, raise kids, then go get the degree and do career. You can’t have it all. Here’s video of med student nearing $300,000 in debt, doing 80+ hours per week in residency, trying to justify having a baby. Somehow she never thought things through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaSu3wVNWJs [/QUOTE]
