Student Loans Ruins Lives

I won't type much here, because I have a lot to say in the vlog post itself, but I have found student loans to be extremely predatory towards people who have no concept of what large sums of money are. Take it for what you will, but I am sitting with a mountain of debt on my shoulders right now, and no current hope of repaying it.



And before the haters come out, yes, I SHOULD have seen this coming, I SHOULD have realized it before the debt came crashing down, but I BELIEVED in meritocracy, and I felt very confident that I would be able to find a job that would easily allow me to make the monthly repayments. Lesson learnt and burnt, haha.

Anti-College Sentiment

I think these days I have become anti-college. Too many people are going, and there aren't enough college educated jobs to accommodate to all the English, Art, Language, and other degrees being mass produced. Even lawyers and biologists are having hard times getting a job.

And I ask you, why in the last decade or so do we need degrees to be police officers? These need hands on, real world training, not four years of classroom experience (with several years of extra electives that hold no value to the position).




I'm also lumping this in with my review of the Academy of Art University, in which I'm on the fence about ever returning again.
