Boys are being fed that college degrees are useless, and women are starting to attend college at slightly higher rates. From a realistic perspective, the costs are just crazy.
If I were a kid today, I’d totally go to vet school in Europe.
All for the crime of doing what everyone always told you was the smart and responsible decision. In retrospect I wish I ignored that one skip class more. Smoking weed behind the bleachers was better than trying to get into a college or I’d leave with no degree and unpayable debt
It’s worse than that. The fastest track to veterinarian is 7 years (typical 4 year degree + 3 year accelerated veterinary degree at the university of Arizona). In Europe, my research yielded 5 years total.

Out of interest I looked up the price difference.
Typical fees per year in the EU range from zero up to around 3K euro (about $3500) with most being below 1K.
US starts at around 12K for in state public and goes well over 40 for private or out of state.
That’s debt for life levels depending on the earning potential of your course.
Crazy financial gamble to have to take at 18.
I lost that gamble. Life’s miserable
Sorry to hear that. It’s a terrible burden to place on someone just starting their adult life.
