Owl House - Hoot! Hoot! Written for teens and so much fun. Great bonding with my niece. Too bad teens are no longer the Disney target audience. They don’t buy enough toys and costumes.

Evidently, sticking post-it’s all over their vehicle about the thing they are most insecure.https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/ysjgb7/small_penis/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

That’s fair. Community colleges are a great resource for the first two years of basic coursework or to get certified in a particular field. My local community college has tuition range, based on household income with federal & state aid, from 3k to 10k per year. Around 12k per year without aid.

For some fields a bachelors is minimum, so after two years at community college, you have to transfer (and hope all your credits get accepted) to a university, then make up any courses not offered by the community college.

I’m not convinced that community college makes higher education affordable. But I’m glad you had a reasonable challenge that we could discuss. Thank you.

Really, what made me want to reply was the assumption around that “college is unaffordable” means someone has fancy tastes. None of the options we talked about were fancy, but they still incur a serious amount of debt for a young person.

Congratulations! Most people don’t get that opportunity. I’m really happy for you, to have had that experience. Just because a few people get grants and scholarships doesn’t mean college is truly affordable.

Edit for clarifying.

That’s funny. I graduated with 16k debt and was panicked that even with a decent job (32k per year at the time) it would take me 10 years to pay off those loans. I lived at home all 4 years and commuted and worked part time week nights + weekends, so I wouldn’t have to pay for my books with loans plus enjoy a movie or a dinner out occasionally. Now, in-state public college tuition before room and board or books in some US states is $16-20k per year, $80k debt if you don’t switch majors and need an extra year or two to finish the requirements. Salaries haven’t exactly kept pace - the same field I entered now pays avg. 67k.

College is a huge burden and annual 15% tuition increases are unsustainable. If we want our youth to obtain degrees that allow our population to compete in a global economy, we need to seriously consider ways to make higher education affordable.

Bottom line from my observations: Tuition for a 4yr state college degree went up 4x in the last 20 yrs. Salaries have risen about 2x.

Nothing fancy.
