Everyone can't have a college degree. In fact, most people shouldn't have one. You don't even need one to be successful or have lots of money.

Obviously, a college degree is a ticket to a good job, but there's only a limited amount of space available for everything. Let's say there are only 10,000 possible job openings for a certain field, and yet our government is encouraging and paying for scholarships so that 100,000 people can try to fill in the 10,000 job openings. 90,000 people are gonna be left with a huge college loan debt that they'll have to pay off and still not get their dream job. Those 90,000 people would have been better off just working at McDonald's and living within their means, instead of $50,000 + interest rates in student debt (which probably takes about 25-30 years to pay off).

Either way you look at it, college is expensive. It's expensive to run the nice, state-of-the-art buildings. It's expensive to pay for university research departments. It's expensive to run study abroad programs. Only those who have the money to pay for it, or are really dedicated and passionate about their careers should go to college. This would lower the amount of college students, and thus would allow for more scholarships, for the really smart people and those who are really dedicated.

Imagine how much better our government funds would be and how much better the lives of Americans could be if we didn't encourage a system that promotes waste and doesn't even guarantee success for most people.|||Libtards wasted their money on stupid liberal arts degrees, cons generally study business and hard science majors, the ones that actually land you a job.|||the economy is not a 0 sum system as far as jobs go. they can be created by people, and through the productivity of workers.

i agree the america way of living on credit got us into this mess. but however the interest makes most of the money in the economy. its a double edged sword.
