Bobby Bryant+Follow Is college still worth it… or have we been sold a lie? My neighbor’s son just graduated college. He’s 24, has $80,000 in student loans… and is working part-time at a coffee shop. ☕ His dad said, “At least he has a degree.” I said, “But does it do anything anymore?” Back in the day, a college degree meant something. It opened doors. It was your ticket to the middle class. Now? It feels like a very expensive piece of paper. Meanwhile, plumbers, electricians, and truck drivers are making six figures—and they didn’t spend four years in a lecture hall. So I’ll ask the question: 👉 Is college still worth it… or have we been sold a lie? I’m not saying education isn’t valuable. I’m asking if the system still delivers what it promises. If you’re a parent or grandparent, what did you tell your kids about college? And looking back—was it the right advice? #CollegeDebt #HigherEducation #StudentLoans #ParentingQuestions #EducationSystem #AmericanDream #CollegeWorthIt #RealLifeSkills #CareerPaths #ParentingAdvice #GrandparentWisdom #LifeAfterCollege76149Share
xbryant+Followwhy free k-12 but not free collegeEver wonder why we get free education through high school, but suddenly college costs an arm and a leg? 🤔 Like, we all agree education is important enough that taxes pay for 13 years of schooling… but then we’re suddenly on our own? I’m genuinely curious - what’s the logic? Is it because college isn’t considered “essential”? Or because not everyone goes? But shouldn’t we want MORE people to have higher education? Other countries figure this out! Germany, Norway, Finland all offer free or super affordable college. What would happen if we treated college like K-12? Would our taxes really skyrocket that much? Or would we just have a more educated population with less debt? #HigherEducation #EducationEquity 2218Share
