Using the figures in the link I posted, a graduate with a Bachelor's degree will make $61k per year on average. So yeah, you may need to get into debt to get a degree, but you also earn more money with which to pay off the debt.

Being a naive European, I think education should be free just like universal healthcare - both of these things benefit society immensely. The sad thing is that those who have paid (or are currently paying) for the privilege of education or healthcare seems to be determined to maintain the status quo. Free stuff for other people is tantamount to communism in some people's eyes.

Ha! Here in Indy a 4-year degree will get you 13-16$ an hour to start.

Most of the stuff a random bachelors degree will get you, office work.

lol...if you say so. Five minutes on Indeed.com shows that you can get a $24k per year office job with a GED, so maybe you need to set you sights a bit higher.

Maybe the statistics are wrong and you're right, but I doubt it

You can apply to some with a GED. Applying does not mean you'll get hired or that you'll be able to move past that entry level position.
