You either don't have a job, aren't looking for work or have been in the same job for decades because everyone else knows that yes, yes you do in fact need to have at LEAST a Bachelor's Degree for most positions nowadays. That is, if you want to make more than the federal minimum wage with benefits.
yeah and the bulk of your generation is idiotic because they want the government to wipe their asses for them.

Although I'm compelled to point out that free school is useful for educating the lumpen masses, for instance, people who never learned the proper usage of "Your" vs "You're."

College is something required to participate in the 21st century economy. Tax increases on the 1% should pay for it.
But I'm sure old conservatives on this board complain that taxes pay for K-12 education, the only education required of them to thrive in the past.
College is NOT necessarily required to participate! If you want to be an engineer (like myself), then yes, it is necessary but let's face it, a large percentage of the college majors are nearly or totally useless. What does a degree in history prepare you for? A 35k teaching job? How about anthropology, archeology-fascinating but unlikely to lead to employment in the field. Philosophy? Anything in the arts? How about Women's Studies? Take a look at available courses at any university and you will see exactly what I mean. People incur insane amounts of debt on fields of study that will never pay off and then expect the taxpayers to foot the bill.

Ironically, it is the older generation that literally wants the government to wipe its ass, via Medicare.
But back to the point at hand, most millenials just want to see college tuition under control. It is Bernie Sanders, a 74-year old man, who has expressed a desire for "free college tuition."
bull****. my parents PAID INTO MEDICARE so they are getting it back.
Your generation wants EVERYONE ELSE to pay for everything.

I would happily wash my hands of the government's responsibility to me, as long as they reimburse me the monies I've funded to Medicare with the extra I would have made had I invested that money.
And you honestly think that when the government starts writing checks for college, the cost will go down? LOL
