Lately I have been hearing a lot of young people whining about student debt. They say they will be on average 50k in debt after they graduate and it is just so unfair. Nobody makes you go to school and if you want to get a job at Walmart right out of HS go right ahead. If you want to learn a trade by starting at the bottom at minimum wage and working your way up, go for it. If you have an idea to start a business of your own and want to work 70 hours a week just scraping by for years until things get going or you lose everything be my guest. When you choose to go to college you choose not to take these other roads. You choose to stay in school and ostensibly have an easier life with a higher income than your counter parts who go right to work. If you don't think it is worth the investment in time and money, don't do it. Nobody owes you an education so quit your damn sniveling will you please. There, I feel better now.
