US colleges have spent $billions to offer what can be viewed as an unnecessary $200,000 vacation for your 18 year-olds. The campuses are stunning, but the costs and the realities are a scam.
In 2021, about 174.9 billion U.S. dollars were funded by the government for postsecondary education programs in the United States. Jul 5, 2024. This funding should be eliminated in 2025 for those Universities that allowed pro Hamas demonstrations in 2024.

High School students really need to identify their motivated abilities and earnings requirements as they choose their training after high school. We are happier and more successful if we choose careers we are good at and enjoy.
