Paywalls make for useless articles

I know a lot of people can't, but I wish we would all stop going and find alternative routes for our careers. Again, I know that's not possible for some, but I really wish we started moving away from colleges. They took advantage of us, we pay tons and go into crippling debt before our life begins, and now the people handing out the loans want to make us suffer more with harder payments and probablyhigher interest rates? Just don't go! Once the money is gone, maybe then they will realize what they caused or, better yet, just collapse entirely. Don't let them make you suffer. I did the alternative route for 1 year and was able to get into my field just fine. I am sad I missed the experience, but I am very happy to have paid off all my loans for schooling within the same year of getting out.
