They get hired by companies such as Oracle upon graduation and then get replaced by work visa foreigners: what a cool system!

There is no student loan "forgiveness", the loan balance is simply being shifted to the American taxpayers, who will all help pay off the useless degrees in "gender studies".
$300K? Hyperbole.
Anybody that spends 300k on an education you can usually find in Home Depot…in the tool section
What a jerk poster #2 is. No respect for others. Sad.
Plus Biden was only going to forgive 10K, not the whole loan.
So everything was hunky dory before 1990 when H1 was not there? No layoffs ever happened, and no one got replaced with anyone.
I thought those loans were forgiven under Biden.
Nope, courts blocked it as being unconstitutional. Can't make up law, you need to follow the process and get it passed in Congress.
It was just a political ploy to get young people on his side.

My daughters went to state universites. My youngest had full academic scholarships and we only spent about $30,000 for her 5 years of room and board (BS/MS degree in mechanical/aero engineering). My oldest daughter, a BSN, worked as a part-time nursing assistant while in school. The facility paid for her tuition in return for 2 years as a full-time employee after graduation.
Honestly, I tell kids who ask me either to get a STEM degree at a decent inexpensive state school or go learn a trade like plumbing or electrical. You can make just as much money doing a trade as you can in engineering. Possibly more, much more. My neighbor is an electrician and his house could eat mine whole and my house isn't small by any means.
You make great money and you have no debt.
@rpz+1k16p2n4 It's possible if you're a 9th year grad student who probably failed his defense and was too d-mb to get a free ride all those years. Or maybe they successfully defended and after years slaving while too dim to realize they'd never get tenure and actually pay off their loans. Or maybe they were so fearful of the real world and getting a real job they got 3 masters degrees. To get to $300k odds are it's something like that.
If you can't add enough value to beat out a fresh grad who's wet behind the ears, has no practical experience, and is a complete fish out of water, that's on you friend. You've mistaken expensive credentials with marketable skills. And if no one ever taught you to brown nose to the folks who decide on your employment early and often, that's on the people who raised you, because it's a vital life skill. Did noone ever tell you that it's not what you know but who you know? If your boss thinks you can be replaced by a noob who isn't yet potty trained, what does that say about you and your $300k degree?
Nobody pays 300K for a degree.
Most people transfer.
