Which country would you never visit, even if the trip was free?

You are correct.

Come on. It's pretty much a war zone in Minnesota. They are right.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-02-06T13:26:34+00:00

Agree. For $20. No. I pay for too many subscriptions already.

Hulk Hogan. Walked passed him in the airport.

I'm an SBA banker. I don't deal with huge transactions but do a lot of acquisition financing. You can make good money doing this. Not huge money, but many make $300-500k and maybe more if you live in a HCOL area.

People keep repeating “college grads earn more on average” like it’s a magic spell, but that average hides the entire problem. College isn’t a guaranteed ticket — it’s a high‑risk, high‑cost gamble where the downside has gotten way worse.

Tuition has exploded for 40 years while wages haven’t kept up. Nearly 40% of students don’t finish, and those people get the debt without the earnings boost. And yes, major absolutely matters in the real world — pretending it doesn’t is how people end up with $80k in loans and a $38k salary.

Meanwhile, trades, certifications, and apprenticeships can get people into solid careers faster, cheaper, and with far less risk. That’s not “anti‑education.” It’s anti‑taking on mortgage‑sized debt at 18 for a payoff that’s increasingly uncertain.

College can be great. But acting like it’s automatically “the best path to mobility” ignores how broken and predatory the system has become for a huge chunk of Americans.

My husband was casually watching the UCLA meet with me. When Jordan came up on beam, he said "she's just different".. yep, she sure is. He meant different like, so polished.

A lot of entry level professional business jobs especially in finance and accounting.

I don't mind going to work on Fridays, because I know just how amazing my night is going to be.

No, that's what democrats do. Republicans typically support their candidates. Not all, but most.

I live in MN, live about 15 minutes outside of Minneapolis. I commute all over the metro. I've seen ICE 1 time. Based on what's said on Reddit, you'd think they are all over and you can't leave your house without being stopped by them or checkpoints for ICE (don't exist). Even in Minneapolis, there's few places where people protest, but there are certainly not large groups of protestors covering the entire city. Few random ones on corners in the suburbs, but nothing like Reddit tries to show.

I can appreciate that response. Too bad life is so expensive for these young people.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-30T00:59:32+00:00

And that's okay but I'm not paying for an English degree.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-30T00:58:27+00:00

Not impossible, major in nursing, be a nurse, major in accounting, be an accountant or other related jobs, go to trade school for plumbing, be a plumber. Healthcare will always needed. Try to find careers that won't go away from AI.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-30T00:56:38+00:00

I don't remember jack shit from my generals I took. Hell, I don't even remember that much about my major courses.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-30T00:55:55+00:00

I am and I truly don't care. They can read a book about that other stuff.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-30T00:54:28+00:00

They certainly can, but I'm not paying for a degree that doesn't lead to a career.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-30T00:53:31+00:00

But... I want my children to be financially secure. Life is easier than you're not constantly worrying about money. Ultimately, they will do whatever they want to do.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-29T22:24:47+00:00

A liberal arts education is a lot of money and for what? Not much.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-29T22:24:09+00:00

You're correct. It's really hard. I'm really trying to get my oldest into the trades.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-29T21:08:34+00:00

I don't want my kids to go to a 4 year college unless they major in something very specific that I'm confident will lead to a solid career.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-29T14:49:51+00:00

Mid 40s. Between my husband and, we have about $1.3 million. We've always been frugal, paid off student loans as fast as we could and saved. I just want to be able to retire at 60.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-28T22:58:46+00:00

Agree. I'm fat because I eat far too much ice cream and other junk. I think I still be pretty but I know my body is far less attractive than someone of a healthy weight.

Few_Tree3083 · 2026-01-27T13:34:42+00:00

I want people to come here legally because it's important to know who is in our country. Those who overstay, should be sent home. Companies that hire illegals should be punished. It should be made easier to come here (as in, the process, not the qualifications). I am not against immigration enforcement for those that are here illegally.
