I'm with you 100% up to 3 minutes.

As of currently 11 minutes, I see the second attempt to redirect the blame for errant spenders. The lady said "All I wanted in life was an education".
Well if that's what she wanted, it sounds like she received it. Now she should pay for it.

I'm with you about the $$ amount of any education. The budgets are top heavy with how it's distributed.

16 minutes has a guy comparing dollar values between decades with no context ($1500 college debt when he was young vs $24000 today)

19 min-- my thought about the person making big bucks who has a degree does not make the big bucks because of that degree. (adapted from gpa's "successful business man vs state of economy" theory).

Nicole is a bill collector for defaulted college loans and you'd be shocked at who isn't paying their bills. Doctors, lawyers, celebrities, you name it. A student loan can not be erased. It sticks with you until you pay it back. If you don't they will garnish your checks, ss, unemployment etc. My favorite is the person that keeps going back to college for the sport of it. Career college students.

A high school buddy of mine racked up a debt of over $100k (in the mid 90s) getting his bachelors and masters in engineering. Now he is an engineering manager and makes 6 figures a years. Seems like a pretty good investment... at least in his case.

I on the other hand went the cheap route. I went to JC and stayed in CA (go gauchos) when I transfered to a four year school. I racked up $16k (a little more manageable). Best money I ever borrowed/spent.

That piece of paper doesn't make you smart but a lot of employers wont even talk to you if you don't have it.

I partially agree. The piece of paper will get you in the door but if you can't "deliver", from what I have seen, you're out like yesterday's trash.
