<<My younger daughter went to the University of Oregon and got one degree in environemental science and is pursuing another in computer science and a graduate degree in Quantitative analysis. In other words.. 150k in student debt to get a degree with no commercial value. Now back for another 100k to get a useful degree. So she will be 25 with 250k in student debt... But, you can tell all of your "friends" that Little Suzzy graduated from Oregon. Nice... You can be proud... Now, its time to climb on the "Vacate our Student Debt because it isn't fair we have to re-pay the loans we agreed to re-pay." liberal bandwagon..>> Education should be free, but my ex and I paid for it. I am almost 71 and still work full time as it cost so much for their education. But they have no debt. If they had gone in Alaska it would have been quite cheap. But they needed to get out. What I got in return are two kids who are living wonderful full lives and phone me every week (always have)and who can carry on a very sophisticated discussion. They can both understand a delima like illegal immigration and how difficult a problem it is, unlike you. They thank me for being a gentle and caring dad. They tell me most of their friends are not so lucky. Especially those from conservative (spare the rod and spoil the child) families who half the time indoctrinate their kids with some sort of dogmatic bullshit, which the kids have to break free of because the parents were too lazy to learn anything themselves to teach their kids.
