We shouldn’t be spending tax payer money on helping the student loan program, let the private sector loan them money. We should stop funding college for any tom dick or harry that want a college education. A lot of state money goes into that when it could be cut from taxes, helping the economy so people can actually hire the real college graduates. > > The biggest problem with education in America are the parents. 100%. Amen. Not everybody needs to be in college, especially considering from my experience half the class rarely shows up in between the test days. (too hungover perhaps or busy playing modern warfare) More time should be spend saying that there are other careers available which aren’t necessarily inferior, just different. I would kill myself being locked in a cubicle all day. It seems that now, its either college or “loser” according to parents. Forget the fact that a high number of graduates move back home because they didn’t learn anything, their major is either useless or saturated and they can’t pay off the loan and live on their own. /rant --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/for-those-who-care-why-usa-overall-competitiveness-is-decreasing/261715)._
