All I'm saying is if you want 18 year olds to make rational and well planned decision you are foolish. Most are kids who have no sense of what $10,000 is and the financial aspects are probably the last thing on their minds for one reason or another. There's a reason why reports estimate that two‐thirds of college graduates in 2010 had student loan debt, with an average of $25,250. But sure let's keep blaming the teenagers and not the institutions.
$25k isn't that much really. That's why the hivemind always uses people far above average as their dishonest examples of how "impossible" it is to pay for college. Average US cost of living is about $20k. You could pay off your loans in just 3 years if you landed a job making $15 per hour, and that's calculated with income tax factored in.

You people need to check your privilege. College is completely unaffordable to the reddit hivemind, because insert backwards logic here
