just a form of extraction! even if a students graduates the jobs are minimum wage or a little more. the credits dont transfer therefore what is the purpose of these schools other than extraction of cash from people wanting to better themselves. if the government didn’t offer student loans and pell grants these schools would not exist. they have a win win situation. after all they cant help it if the student didn’t the grades. if these schools were made to offer credits that would transfer they would fall like flys.

Just a few months ago, the national student debt reached 1 TRILLION DOLLARS. How’s that for disaster capitalism? I guess it’s now come to the point where the system is eating itself and enslaving the very citizens that were supposed to become its enablers, gatekeepers and dreamed of becoming the slave owners themselves. Imagine if, instead of fighting endless wars for oil in the Middle East and spying on the citizens at home, those several trillion bucks were put towards satisfying that debt and properly educating our youngsters. The US could truly become a beacon of enlightenment among the nations but, of course, that would deplete the bottomless pockets of our oligarchs who are for profit above all. So, let the race to the bottom continue, eventually, something will have to give up. Hopefully, it will be the heads of those who have got us into this mess.
