Millennials think they deserve a 70K salary for a 30k job.
They think they deserve-not always work.
You should not get 15/hr for flipping hamburgers.
You will not start out with the corner office, with a large house, two cars and an expense account. Go into education and see what you will not be able to afford.
As a teacher, I believe a 4 year college education should not be the goal. Not everyone is meant for college. Some jobs need a degree. Teaching, medicine, administration, others.
But I am all for tech schools for many kids and we should be steering some that way in Middle School. I have kids that will not go to college but may make a good plumber. I pay my plumber good money. It is an honest, respectful job. Auto mechanic, HVAC, electrician.
Don't get me started on the lack of welders.
We are looking at college for kid 1. She is deciding between business and physical therapy. Either way, she can do well. College is 20-28k. We can cover most, she will have to work to cover the rest. But there is no way she can work enough to cover the cost of college. Not like the old days. GB is correct. She could start out with 20K of debt. That is before a car, house, wedding, furniture. It could be worse for some. Private school is 60K. Why the hell would we want that.
Millennials-don't expect it all now. I have taught for 24 years and know that it could be gone tomorrow.
