In some ways, I am so glad to not have a degree, and to have forged my own path.

Imagine being in crippling debt for a piece of paper that has been devalued vs. experience? Some fields of study ABSOLUTELY require a degree..like docs, lawyers, etc....But if you just want to know history..learn history. You don't need to spend 100k+!!! Trade school until your house and 2 vehicles are paid off..THEN do what thou wilt.

Education, whether trade school or college, should be heavily subsidized as a country's investment in itself. We subsidize tobacco, agriculture, oil, solar, auto, etc. etc. businesses using that rationale.

Unfortunately, debt is the real economy. That is what stores really sell, with the ostensible product just a vector or carrier for that debt.
