I'm part of the so-called Baby Boomer crowd who worked their way through college. Worked in a plywood mill in the summer and cut pulpwood in the winter. The 12k a year my school cost was just as much out of reach to me as the 32k. Never expected the government to bail me out for any debt I incurred.

That’s the rub isn’t it?

I’ll ask again…point me to the $32k/year jobs a college kid can work part time without incurring debt.

If you went to a $12k/year school as a boomer, I’m guessing you went private. And that’s your choice. But I’m talking about a public university education. UT was about $4K/year instate when I went in the 90s, so you obviously weren’t attending UT as a boomer.

You probably can't. So if you incur the debt, pay off the debt.

$14,000 in 1978 is equivalent to $62,800+ in today’s world. Just in case you want to compare apples to apples.

That wasn’t the point. But okay. The point is, kids today HAVE to incur debt to go to a public university (unless they come from wealth), whereas the boomers could actually pay for college by working. So it’s disingenuous to say, “I worked my way through college without accruing debt, so should you!”

And UT didn’t cost $14k in 1978. Since we’re comparing apples to apples.

I have an infected in-grown toenail on the big toe I broke a few months back. Been hurting like a MFer. Just drained some pus from it so hopefully that helps. Need to find a good podiatrist.

Only way to heal it. Was playing basketball in my socks during high school (shoes I was wearing weren’t allowed on that court), huge fella landed on my toe coming down with a rebound and that toe was a medical mess for two years. Got really skilled at pulling off that side of the nail using clippers but it stayed infected. Podiatrist trimmed it and inserted acid capsules…voila.

$12,000 per year (the number I should have used per @Leeleesteeth’s example) is worth $53,800+ in today’s world. I was using his example (just used the wrong number) as the benchmark.

Not really taking sides here but both of my sons joined the Air Guard to pay for college. One went to Mizzou @roughly $25K per year. The guard covered tuition. Between his drill pay, bonus kicker, and GI Bill he made around $1000/month. He also had his savings from basic. He graduated with no debt.

There are a lot of ways to reduce or eliminate college debt. In either event, those debts were incurred voluntarily and should NEVER be anyone's responsibility but the person who directly benefited.

 

[sjt18]

I love the “I worked my way through college without taking out loans” baby boomer crowd. UT costs about $32k per year now. Point me to the part time jobs that pay $32k. And what if someone wants to go to law school, med school, etc.?

Just because you were lucky enough to attend college during a time when tuition costs were manageable, that doesn’t mean a college kid today can attend college without accumulating debt. It’s a ridiculous phenomenon in the wealthiest country in human history.

Well, there are some missing parts to your analysis. When I went to college and more than likely when you went, the objective for most was to graduate with a degree that prepared them for an in-demand job. Bluntly there are too many people going to college now. Some attain degrees that are all but worthless. Others attain degrees that would have worth except there are far too many graduates for those 2.7 gpa students to compete. Starting with the boomers... there was a narrative pushed by teachers, politicians, media, and parents that you had to go to college if you were an intelligent student. That was never true and has now produced artificial demand for college graduates... and contributed to ridiculous inflation in college costs.

When did they end full ride scholarships?

We baby boomers did not have an option of our first two years paid by the lottery.

The real issue here is the colleges having a larger pool of money to to draw from to demand tuition increases. Squeeze the amount of money going in to the system and the colleges will drop tuition rates.

The other issue is that the quality of education today is no where equal to the quality of education 30-40 years ago. Our society today is a direct result of that.
