    The price of college loans and the resulting inability to get anywhere to live after leaving is the indoctrination.

        Well no. That’s what millennials have been trying to tell everyone for a couple decades now. It’s not that college is useless it’s that they’re forcing too much through the college system. When we were kids we were told it was college or pumping gas. As a result many of us were saddled with debt while we did jobs like driving taxis. So now what we want is for the system to figure itself out. Either a degree is that persuasive in your earnings and it should be little to no cost or it isn’t and we can stop trying to send literally everyone just to make some rich people richer.

        The idea that college is useless is a conservative idea, not a liberal one.
