No, I did not say that. What I said was that it can't be done like it was decades ago. Big difference.

You said

They can aspire all they want, but they won't be able to do it, not living on minimum wage and on their own.

That's correct. A part-time minimum wage won't pay for tuition, room and board, books and living costs. Not without help.

Which is where student loans come in.....which is my whole point....

Most people can't. They are usually married (with kids) and bought their first home. it's hard to pay off $1000 loan payment each month. My relative has this.

By the way, my minimum loan payment every month was like $120.

I said I didn't take out student loans. It can't be done like that anymore.

From HuffPo:

The average college graduate obtained a degree in 2012 with $29,400 in student debt, up from $18,750 less than a decade before in 2004, according to a new report released Wednesday.

Wow. I would've killed for only $29K in debt.

Did you live at home or was some of your debt for a dorm?

That's true.... unless you have a rich uncle.

So we agree!

I lived in a dorm for 4 years and an apartment for 1 year.

Don't fall for any of this. HH is just trying to stir up controversy so she can get to 30,000 posts before the end of July. Apparently, her goal is a thousand posts per month, by any means necessary!

We didn't take out loans either and there were decent jobs available upon graduation.

Not where my relative went. $40,000 a year tuition. I had no loans. I worked , went to a jr. college first, and also paid my tuition/books each semester. (no credit cards either) I commuted to school.

You know you can choose where you want to attend school, right? You don't HAVE to choose the most expensive one.
