College dreams on hold?

32 thoughts on “College dreams on hold?”

1. Im a 36, single mom of three. I will have my Bachelors in the fall of 2020, if it were not for online courses, my college goals would have not been possible. I am so thankful that my state college offers online programs, I wish more colleges offered more online courses.

2. look at the BLS figures, college definitely definitely definitely pays off!! just make sure you dont get an underwater basket weaving degree..or something about feminist dance theory

3. Right now colleges are giving a lot of money to keep students in. Don’t give up on college plans without thinking it through in terms of financials. You won’t pay for housing fees. A UC costs $14,000 to attend but I will have $2000 paid so for me it makes sense to still go. It may not for u, but next year it will definitely by more competitive due to students taking leap years. Less $ will be available.

4. simple solution = make college cheaper

5. Online college is not worth 30k per year. College is inherently a social experience! Take time off and figure out what you actually want to do and how to get there and you might figure out you never needed it at all.

6. a lot more people will go to community college and take gap semesters/years up till campuses reopen

7. I still wonder why the hell we pay boat loads of money to go to school to get a halfway decent job in America smh

8. I’m a college student trying to start a business to support myself in these stressful times. Please support! https://offerup.co/profile/marinaaccessories

9. Poor babies…

10. I’ve always took online classes when I could. It always allows me to work more

11. You pay for the experience not the education.

12. Millennials looking at Gen z like …. 😡 good luck kids 😖

13. Higher education deserve it

14. Time to invest in VR class i guess~~~

15. Jesus some people are so bitter on here about how much they hate college…can't people just do what they want? Not everyone goes to college to get super rich, also it's not a competition. People go to college to get an education and get a degree for a job they want in the future. For many many companies, it doesn't always matter what you have your degree in, they look for IF you have a degree. Continuing your education past high school for some employers is important. Yes, I graduated Winter 2019, yes, I have a loan and ofc I wish I didn't have a loan, but I am happy I went to college and don't regret anything. I also don't judge people who decided not to go to college. Unlike some of you nasties on here attacking people who go to college LOL.

16. I regret going to college.

17. college is a waste and a scam, thank you coronavrius for exposing this corrupt business!

18. Thank God I just got my undergraduate degree !

19. “We need them to go to college.”
    Fattest lie ever. Not everyone is gonna make it out as “the next economist or scientist who will solve the next great crisis”. It is crucial to understand that universities are businesses, and they will try to lure you in and screw you over. Unless you know your investment will pay off, that you will get the most bang for your buck, then reconsider.

20. Lol glad this is happening to expose the shitty college business cycle

21. Let the colleges go broke. Most crooked organizations in America. The entire education system needs rebirth. The best teachers aren't in classrooms for a fee they're on youtube for free.

22. The real question is why do I need to pay $2000 to take a class online? Is it because my professor’s camera is expensive?

23. All I know is it better be fucking cheaper

24. “We NEED kids to go to college they’re our future” great since that’s a demand I expect payment for it. I accept Venmo and Paypal. Thx

25. Let's be real. College for most people is all for the experience. I made awesome, genuine friends and had a blast a long the way… I would NOT pay the same price for an online experience. Being on campus, you learn time management, and just how to function as an adult. It's where you start to realize who you are becoming… Idk, maybe just me

26. I relate to the girl saying this has made her want to get out there and help. This has made me want to grow up to be a nurse even more. They inspire me so much

27. i'm supposed to go school next year… if it's online without a discount I'M NOT GOING!

28. People from the USA should just come to Europe. Better schools and a lot cheaper. You can go to school at a top uni in Sweden and the whole program (3 years) can cost you 10k USD. that's pennies compared to the states.

29. If you go or plan to go to private school than don't go until this is all over. The main reason you want to go to a private or Ivy league school is because you want connections. Zoom classes won't really help you in getting a better job.

30. You don’t need a college degree to successful…it’s you as a person

31. So another swath of American population not college educated. Lol great.

32. Open the Colleges up!!!
