I was told in no uncertain terms I would not be considered successful if I had not gone to college.

How many of us got some good news yesterday? I'll have to wait for the details, but I think I might be free and clear. I think I should qualify for 20k pool. I've got about 18k left and if memory serves it was all grants.

I don't give two fucks what people say. The government should not have to pay the lenders for our loan forgiveness. I've been paying almost nothing but interest these past 15 years. They got my money. I'm basically getting the principal paid back to me for the college degree I didn't even need. I could have been 10 years further ahead in my career if I had just started working after I got out of the Army.

I enjoyed my time in college emensly, I enjoyed it so much I couldn't stop going. 20 years and threw degree later I end up getting a good paying blue collar union job that I love. I work alone or with a small team. There is little to no direct supervision. I only see my boss I'm the AM and once a month for less than 5 minutes. With overtime, I can make $250k a year.

I think the oldest millennials got told what we were told, but after them, it has been stressed less and less. I believe I just read that college enrollment has been going down for the first time since the 80s.
