Theres where your "whiney know-it-all self centered must have money" types come from.
Thats exactly right. The recent surge in the cost of attending college has priced most all but the poor little rich kids from attending. Whiny, self-centered, arrogant kids will continue to be the trend in college and society in general until higher education is once again available at a reasonable cost.
And exactly when was it affordable for reasonable cost? Record percentages of students are attending college now. BTW, not sure how a poor kid taking loans is any different from a middle class kid taking loans..unless the poor kid is being expected to support his lazy bum parents on his high school salary from the movie theater that he has to give up to go to college..if so, sucks to be him, he could never afford college
I'm surprised only 70% of the "rich" go to college, because every I associate with went to college, even those that had to take out lots of loans (which, would not make them rich)
