    The bulk of the problem is becoming a nurse (or anything that requires college) is ridiculously expensive

      For real. There should be full tuitions for nursing school for anyone who can keep their grades up. Same for medical school.

      We need more doctors and nurses. We shouldn’t be turning people away just because they don’t have money.

        Not just “don’t have money” they don’t want to gamble decades of debt on if they’ll both graduate and find and keep a well paying job post graduation.

        It used to be that everyone thought it was worth it, now people say it’s not.

        Like, when you think about, putting that decision on a teenager is pretty fucked.

        Like, we just expect them to decide and commit to their entire career path before they’ve ever worked more than a part time job in highschool?

        Education is an investment in societies future, it’s why fixing it benefits all of us.
