Americans are taught from birth to only care about work. It's sad. If all you want to do with your life is work, you should be dropping out of school and getting a job as quickly as possible.

You go to college in the hopes that you can get a sought-after job that pays and treats you decently well, instead of being stuck in dead end shit hovering around minimum wage and needing to work 60 hours a week just to maintain a subpar standard of living. ...

I wonder what the loans and tuition costs have looked like over that time So your link makes three really dumb points.
And in fact the cost of a four year degree in recent decades is actually flat, even with greater demand and rising incomes. Oops. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I know it's adjusted for inflation. That's my point, the value of a college degree has remained stagnant, but look at the inflation-adjusted cost of tuition table. It's 4x as much as it was in the late 70s
