So, to start, a lot of HS students with aspirations of going to a university of some sort have to spend a decent amount of their last year or 2 trying to court different colleges for scholarships (most of which are colleges you’ve never heard of offering like $400 off or something) and free ride scholarships are (and this is admittedly anecdotal) unheard of in my area (suburb near major city). Should more socialist minded youth without the means to go to college find jobs? I don’t say this out of an anti-education perspective or some sort of belief that colleges are too liberal of institutions or anything, if it was free for families to send their children to school, I’d be all for it. What do yall think? And feel free to give me book suggestions or quotes from Leftists if you have any that may apply to this, specifically on the topic of the US where college costs more annually on average than any other nation.
I’m sorry for commenting on this very late (I’ve been on Reddit ever since I got my new phone, mostly on The Deprogram and GTAIV subreddits, and finally got perma-banned again. As much as I miss commenting and posting on Reddit, I miss Lemmygrad SOOOO much more.) but I can’t agree more. I went to Community College and (long story short) it was pretty awful for my mental health, so I have stayed away from Community College. I’m more than happy to learn to be an electrician if it means I don’t have to write essays lol (I basically already wrote one considering how long this comment is)
