Correct. A Culinary college around here (Johnson and Wales University) was easy to get in and easy to graduate. I did notice when I went to one of the graduations, how the dean spoke ahead of the ceremony warning that grads may not get good jobs straight away. That is, a kid came in after working McDonalds, spent 4 years at J&W, then goes back to working at McDonalds.

The whole thing about Culinary degree is weird. To me this is more like trade, not much different from plumbing or welding.

After the Supreme Court blocked his sweeping student loan cancellation last summer, Biden bragged “we can’t have a debate because cannibal rappers named Ice Tea ate Donald Trump.” No, wait, that was a different time. What happened was, not one to let the top court in the land tell him what to do, Biden ineloquently boasted, in a hissed stage whisper, “That didn’t stop me.”

In a 61-page order, penned by two Obama-era judges, a Missouri federal court stayed most of Joe’s new and improved loan forgiveness plan. Eighteen states, including Florida, sued, arguing Biden’s so-called SAVE Plan — actually a giant SPEND plan — wasn’t authorized by Congress, turned loans into grants, and was overall uglier than a slimy hairball the judge’s hairless Persian recently coughed up.

The order held that Biden’s SAVE Plan likely violates the Supreme Court’s major questions doctrine, because it is “‘an enormous and transformative expansion in statutory authority without clear congressional authorization.’” And the court noted the $475 billion estimated price tag would “forgive nearly one-third of all student loan debt.”

Most voters are less enthusiastic about paying off other people’s student loans than Secret Service agents debating who’s going to take Biden’s bite-happy German shepherd Commander for its next walk.

“By attempting to saddle working Missourians with Ivy League debt, Joe Biden is undermining our constitutional structure,” Missouri’s Attorney General Andrew Bailey said. “Only Congress has the power of the purse, not the President. Today’s ruling was a huge win for the rule of law, and for every American who Joe Biden was about to force to pay off someone else’s debt.”

The student loan issue is such a dumb political football. If they wanted to solve it, it could be solved in about ten minutes by letting people with unaffordable student loans discharge them in bankruptcy. The Constitutional bankruptcy system already has all the safeguards to ensure people don’t take undue advantage, and only use it when necessary.

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has been forced to stop all student debt forgiveness programs after multiple court orders.

Federal judges in Kansas and Missouri sided in favor of Republican attorneys general. ...

Republicans have slammed the plans as a barely disguised scheme to buy votes for President Biden using taxpayer dollars.

The news comes as Biden faces growing battles as he hopes to cling to power. ...

The empty promises that Biden made about what he would do in his four years in office were a draw for many at the time.

However, many will be unlikely to be fooled again this time around.

The reason loans balloon to enormous amounts is people go to private schools and use the loans to live on. Stupid people don’t deserve degrees at tax payer expense.

Not only that many party and live beyond their means with the loans. I knew plenty of people that traveled, had a nice apartment, car, ate out all the time and then cry about having 100+k loan.

State university costs about $10k a year all in.

Wait, you can pay for a CAR using student loan?

That is a good deal, I suppose California has low college cots. Putting my daughter through 4 year college cost me $120k.

Junior College is gone. California Community Colleges now charges about $50 (for residents and illegal aliens. Out of state students pay $350) per unit. Still a bargain.

Sadly, many community colleges are wrapping up what used to be vocational certificates into "Associate Degrees"

I can see them having to take liberal arts classes in order to keep the liberal arts departments from shutting down.
