the people that think it really costs them 200k out of their own pocket are not doing it right. and of course 100k in debt seems like a lot when you make 10 bucks an hour, but with the income afterwards its manageable; especially when your employer is willing to pick up part or all of the tab. debt is not so black and white these days. dont throw away a valuable tool out of ignorance.
i personally think there's nothing wrong with people having to be smarter to get ahead. with the population growing, sorta smart isnt smart enough these days. a real winners gonna rise to the top. not the top that some high school counselor told them about, but the real top above other real life people that work as hard as they do. if it was easy, wouldnt every one be on top?
that means the country's population as a whole is improving. which is good isnt it? you can move to a shit hole country where every one is uneducated, and a bachelors makes you a genious. you can also compare yourself to a bum and call yourself rich.
as for being happy making 65k a year driving a literal shit box, that may be great for some; but not everyone. not knocking your buddy, as the world needs blue collar workers. who else will be the white collar workers' minions?
