The mentality of doing manual labor or getting your hands dirty is beneath todays kids that the public schools are instilling in them is not just plain moronic but also dangerous. This country will always need welders, plumbers, electricians, and mechanics. If you must goto college then get a useful degree, like nursing, accounting, or engineering. A degree in Gay and Lesbian studies of the 16th century is not useful and you'll be hard pressed to ever pay your student loans off, dumbass.
Perfect example of this, young girl on our dart team graduated college with a MS in accounting. She paid for her own tuition at the local community college by working as a bartender or waitress any shifts she could get, graduated free and clear. Mom and Dad didn't pay for any of it, they will help out if their kids have car troubles etc. but they also expect to be paid back, mommy and daddy worked too hard for too long to just give their money away to even their own kids.
She graduated two weeks ago, had her graduation party that we went to a week later Saturday night, she started her new job in her chosen profession this Monday morning. She plans on working towards her CPA as time and finances allow.
So lets see, went to community college, didn't take student loans out, studied something useful, got degree in something useful, have a job two weeks later and no debt.
