Abie's Debt Review

@mmmmdddd2267 says:

Personal experience with son in college for commercial pilot — i did a ton of backwork. Yes, it can be done without a 4-yr degree. But it's not just hard, its prohibitive. Lots of reasons why. Fortunately we have a state school with a flight program. Still crazy expensive. Could have gone 1500 mi to Purdue for 40K a year plus another 15k in housing, plus another 20k in flight hour fees per year. No thanks. Still, there were very few "connections" outside school. If you're getting a luxury or plenty-of-delay pilot's license, go ahead. If you want hours on the school's flight simulator, deals on legally required flight software, a minor that will make you marketable if you ever get grounded, inclusion in flight teams, a community of other pilots your kids' age, or foot-in-the-door opportunities, your kid needs to be ready to sleep at the municipal airport and be at the flight coordinator's beck and call, to the exclusion of any other work opportunity (and some things just won't be available).

Side note — this is only relevant if your kid is a white male.

We paid for our kids college costs. In return they had to make good grades (both did) and they had to pick marketable majors.

I went to community college the first two years, then I transferred to a small 4-year that was significantly cheaper than a state school, and now I'm getting my Masters online for an amazing price. Take the cheapest route possible! the degree is the same.

*Also, only go this route if a degree is 100% needed for the career of choice.

It’s because of influencers and other “seemingly important people” that ruin it for today’s youth.
And that also means you Brett.
And Ben, and Pierce, Andrew, Jordan and the whole leftist woke elite dumping all their thoughts on social media.

What we had was good, but y’all had to ruin it in favor of your own political agenda.
How ‘bout y’all set your political differences aside and work together to achieve the goals your country needs, what your children your youth needs.

America seems to only want to do one thing : polarize and hit the “enemy” as hard as it can.
Like : you need an important political decision to be made and you want my support ?
No, we will block everything you offer, just to piss you off because you are not part of our political party.l and we think that every idea coming from you is bad because you are you.

Help your children and make a better country for them, educate them a way that is to their benefit, not your own.
Stop acting childish, your country is going to hell in a hand basket and need you to fix it

Community College was the best decision my brother and I made. We both finished off our bachelor's at a 4 year school and saved a metric ton of money. Working full time to pay as we went was the second best decision.

I'm not from America, and in my country there is not a "comunity college". I want to be in the medical field, and the degree is mandatory here, but there are oportunities to get skills thru programs. The college here can be free if you have good enough results, so I'll study with all my might and if it won't be enough, I will work. There's no way I'm going into real life having to pay back loans or make my mother/family pay for me. This video gave me courage, tho, so thank you very much. The solution to avoid the stundent loan system is not to give up on my dream, but to use it as fuel to jump thru the loopholes. Thank you very much for making this video! ?

I went to community college and a few of my professors also taught at the university in the same city… literally teaching the same thing

@WarloyJenkins says:

If you are going to go to college you need to get a useful degree. Also, you need to go to a state school. Finally, study very hard while you are in high school for your GPA and your ACT/SATs so that you can get good scholarship money from your state university. I was fortunate enough to have went to private school my whole life before college. There was not 1 point in my college career that my annual tuition was more expensive for college than it was for my highschool tuition (9k), and significantly lower than that in my final 2 years. There should be no universe where you are paying multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars for an undergraduate degree.

I went to a community college and got my practical nursing certificate and started working as a LPN. Went back to community college to a bridge program and became a RN. Went through an online program and got my BSN. My wife went through almost the same educational route. We had almost no debt when we met and got married, and paid it all off within a few years. All our debt, not just school debt. Colleges are a scam.

My best friend got his a master degree in 2018 . So for him getting a job shouldn't be a problem ? Well for whatever reason he is choosing to continue . Being a life guard at are former high school . being a Lacrosse team coach assistant . And a life guard at a local swim club . And if he was in college than okay. But he is 28 years old . He should already have a well paid job stop thinking about the girl he had a crush in high school .

Democrats created a monopoly on education to steal from people.
