CRACKED did a great job with this one.
[If Student Loans Were Honest](
If, as Jeff Berwick would say, "the government indoctrination camps" weren't pay for play, to get a degree in something that won't get you a job to begin with, most people wouldn't attend them. Defiantly wouldn't pay to attend them for a future filled with debt and the hope that a J.O.B. will fill the void.
It's funny how the few that start life with a little different perspective already know this, and take the time to learn instead of relying on a system to teach them how to work for a living. The few that were smart enough to start things like this very block chain are the true entrepreneurial leaders of our times. They are the source of a line of thinking that the kids in college need to be learning from, instead of the professors teaching them to be puppets of the corporate game.
The US of A needs a different strategy on the education system. One that isn't controlled by the government and is more in tune with the coming changes this country is facing. The world is filled with technological advances today already that are changing the future to a place were robots are going to be main work force. IBM's Watson is taking over the need for an attorney now. The medical profession for the basic doctor is going to be the next one to fade out, as all of that knowledge gets uploaded to next supercomputer. As all of us know that are here on this block chain, the banking system is going to be another one that is slowly moved out of the way, or at least moved into a system that doesn't require a branch with a vault and tellers for the average person.
The education system hasn't ever taught anyone about how fiat currency works, they barely ever even mentioned it. The financial system is a major obstetrical for a kid coming out of college that has never had expenses to worry about, and with no real understanding of how it's stacked against them. They start off barley able to tread water finding themselves bobbing for air just in time to find out that the water is getting deeper fast.
