You worded it a little better, but yes, kids everywhere growing up should be reminded of this concept when they are looking down the barrel of a student loan with a casual 10% interest rate that starts the day you sign for it!

@tschelpps This knowledge has to be taught, starting as early as 4th grade, 10-11 years of age, when they are still malleable.

An 18 yo is tone deaf to anything anti their agenda.

However, if children are taught the cost of a government-loan in pictures and diagrams, fewer would be interested, and make alternate plans for defining higher ed, i.e. self-taught techies, trade school.

Thanks for chiming in.

Peace.
