There are no cheaper schools. There are expensive ones and more expensive ones. There is literally no option for the non-rich except to go into debt or learn to be a plumber.
learning a trade should be more encouraged, you can make a shit ton of money (relatively) without the debt
This isn't even true in a lot of places now. If you have a college nearby, expect your local trade school to have tuition similar to that college.
True, but that isn't an option for everyone and we still need scientists and doctors and such.
oh i know but college shouldn't be the default. i work in elementary and they have college posters up in the halls.
College stuff up in elementary schools is pretty crazy.
Lots of trade schools are charging 10-20k/year and expecting 2 years of you…trades are great but we’re using student loans for them too depending on where you are*
*large cities tend to have better cheaper options like community college and there at least was some small federal schools that didn’t require loans. But not all areas have equal coverage here and you often get price gouged if you aren’t from that very specific city/town the community college is in. Tl;dr hopefully you live in an area with good resources which is not even remotely guaranteed.
