  1. No more government funding for post secondary education institutions.
  2. Your student loan is with the school you are going to. Not with the government or bank.
  3. Upon graduating, the school must place you in a job reflecting your education and at a mutually agreed upon minimum salary. When that has happened, you have ten years to pay back your loan or you default.
  4. You make no loan payments to the school until after you are placed. If the school cannot place you with two years after passing your curriculum and graduation, your loan becomes null and void - too bad school.

This makes the school a partner in your education with skin in the game. So they have to give you a solid education with job prospects upon graduation. No more turning out broke radical left socialist Dem wannabe’s with no prospects in life and an education you could have gotten from a Coles Notes bio of Karl Marx.

So your education has to be a win-win or the school loses the tuition you owed them.

  1. Problem solved.

Thanks. People should never be penalized for using common sense - which was my post secondary institution.

My wife's brother put his oldest through college and almost went bankrupt in the process. She came out with a useless degree which got her a job at a daycare. She's since quit that job to become a yoga instructor. She went into college very conservative and religious. She came out off college a raving lunatic leftist. Texas Tech was the crime scene.

There are a million stories like yours unfortunately. I have been saying Trump cleaning up the MSM and then the problems in the post secondary education should be Priorities 1 & 2 of the new term. Unfortunately there is much to be resolved from this first term however.

There needs to be a serious study done on young adults coming out of colleges who are underemployed, Colleges teach theory and no practical thinking-on-your-feet work experience.

The only reason companies hire college graduates primarily is because they know they are seriously in debt and cannot afford to quit a job on a whim. Most are only one pay check away from going bankrupt in many cases. So what they save on Human Resources costs, they lose by having to teach college kids how to actually work in a business - a poor trade off.

I was very fortunate I am continually self taught and smart enough to it it to use very quickly.

I look at the entire situation like this. When you want to get a dog for your family, where do you go? Do you spend a lot of money on a dog from a breeder with a pedigree and papers that usually ends up having a bad disposition because the breeders are only in it for the money? Or do you go to the SPCA and give a dog a second chance who will love your family unconditionally and protect them to show its thanks? It’s an easy choice for me,
