Community College > Private I did that. But that doesnt change the cost of housing. Its crazy people in the 90s and more so earlier, could literally work a minimum wage job and still afford to get a house. Thats just not possible unless you are working 2-3 jobs and at that point are you really living anymore? People say get a better job but what if some people just arent skilled enough to get a high paying job? People shouldnt just be having to throw their 60% their paychecks on rent alone which is easily, believe it or not surpassing mortgage costs (you know the money that is actually going towards ownership). Sorry for going on a rant lol, wasnt really directed at you. It just made me think how I went to community college, and never figured out what I career I wanted to pursue and I have had to pursue different odd jobs. The biggest job I ever had was an electrician and even went to trade school for it but I feel like my autism kept me from excelling in it. I was always too slow or couldnt figure out what they wanted to do since I am a visual learner not a verbal learner. Bottom line is houses are expensive as fuck. 100,000 dollars for the smallest house in the ghetto still sounds staggeringly high, 200k is better but for a half decent house its more like 350-400k. I cant even imagine how much the nice houses are in the nice neighborhoods with the beautiful landscaping and country club pools. <cite>dioxxys posted [p:966608538] in Redditor d...

I knew teachers that even voted for it, because the didn't understand. the result is most schools are now free to set whatever tuition their greedy hearts desire. previously the govmnt capped most tuition increases, but it was still stupid back then. tuitions can increase 10% PER FUCKING YEAR. nothing does that. also skyrocketing campus housing and regular housing too. schools profit off the rent crisis by matching the market with dorms, whereas dorms should be dirt cheap as a public service to your students to help them make it through college and also live on campus and have fun. --- gamefaqs.gamespot.gamestop.com <cite>Robot2600 posted [p:966610471] in Redditor d...

There's plenty of civilian jobs that are more life risking than the Army.
