Student Debt
11/8/2019 foxnews.com: Lack of shop classes is why we're $1.6T in student debt: Mike Rowe I don't know that the lack of shop classes is why we're $1.6T in student debt but I do feel we are doing high school students a disservice by not offering vocational classes such as electrical, welding, carpentry, etc. Given exposure to these in demand good paying jobs many students might realize they excel in and prefer blue collar rather than white collar careers, thus avoiding crushing student loan debt. I have little sympathy for those that accrue large student loan debt. They knew, or should have known, the terms of the loan agreements prior to signing on the dotted line. They willingly accepted those terms. They should have known salary expectations for a job in their chosen field upon graduation. To express bewilderment or outrage that a job in the field of ones four year degree doesn't pay enough to comfortably meet loan repayment obligations only reinforces the thought that America's youth do not understand the concept of personal responsibility.
