It also helps push people away from furthering their education. If its just another bill to pay, why bother when you can get just as good a job without it?

    I would love so much to go to college, but yeah, at this point in my life it becomes a business question, rather than about personal betterment. Everything is a desperate "Return on Investment" calculation anymore.

    Yeah, it definitely pushed me away. I can do art and gamedev without a degree (but haven't made it yet for a plethora of reasons), but you need a bachelor's if you want any hope of escaping the country. Drat! Cornered.

    I teach myself stuff all the time, but it doesn't come with a paper that says I put myself deep in debt to do it, so, I'm automatically disqualified for "good" jobs. :(
