“Paying fair share”…maybe the college and universities sitting on large endowment should be taxed and the money returned to fund increasing tuition cost? That’s fair right? Fair share and all

Tuition costs have definitely become outrageous. Looking back now I have serious second thoughts on whether going to graduate school was worth it. But there's such an emphasis on education in this country vs learning a trade. Wish more options were presented back in high school. If your grades were good you were pushed towards college and trade school wasn't even mentioned as a viable alternative.

I knew there was something we could agree on. I agree with every word of this post.

You do know that forgiving debt drives up the costs even more. Will look up the study but the main reason for the massive drive up in graduate and post graduate costs over the last 30 years was the easy access/flooding of government money (thru loans and grants).
