"Yes College Is a Scam" Who made attending college become the way it is today.

Surely not the students who are failing to pay off their loans.  But the fact that Mom and Pops, just want to get their little Darlings out of the nest, is one of the reasons. Yep, no matter what  the cost. Well the cost has risen higher than most parents can afford and if the darlings takes out a loan, that cannot be repaid. Then you reap what you sow.

So now the scaming starts when lowering the bar, and demanding hugh sums of cash. and allowing anyone who is able to float a loan or parents willing to pay such hugh sums, leads to a broken system within a broken system.

How is it that I have knowledge of the above. It started as early as the seventies. It seems that as early as then, when everyone thought that everyone should attend college, false. College cost begin to rise, early as then. Some students were given money to attend college equal opportunity grants, some took out loans to pay back the institutions, and did not or could not after graduating. From what I understand, our current first lady had an equal opportunity grant awarded to her. Another example is that students of that era, some bought new autos with part of  the monies and partied the remainder away. Well it is not a fun thing to write about, but when at one of out local colleges discovers, that one of their students while high takes a slide down the garbage chute and the corpse is found at the dump.

The presidents, lived the life of Riley. They lowered the bar and at the same time raised the cost.

Well I had a feeling, and was "hipped" to what was going on. I took out only two student loans and worked in the local steel mill during the summer to earn my tuition money. My parents helped also. I paid back both loans.

In conclusion; No, obtaining an education will never be the same in this country. I give kudos to those professors and everyone else who contributed to my success in earning a college degree. When it was really about learning and not about how much money you will earn after graduation. With out an education I would not have been able to enjoy life, when everything I did had to have a dollar sign attached to it.
