Stop being lazy and just work a part-time job in the summer to pay for school.

I was joking man. That's just one of my favorite lines I hear older people say when they're criticizing millennials because it shows a complete lack of awareness. 

Or how about a full-time job during the semester?   How about 2 years of full-time before college to save money? How about any number of things that lessen the burden? Anyway, I didn't target any one specific group, I said the 5 I am aware of, me being in the 3rd group all seem to be less responsible etc than the previous.

Supposed to work a full time job while in high school? Pretty sure that’s not even legal. 

Not to mention in order to get into good schools you have to fill your application with extra curriculars.

I wasn't clear, I meant 2 gap years between high school and college.

It probably is illegal these days, thank goodness it wasn't 35 years ago...

You are completely out of touch if you think you can save money on the wages people get paid for unskilled labor.

We couldn't all fit in Yale's freshman class, even if it was free.

 

Pick a college more middling.

20k would be an 8 hr day. Not extreme with 12-15 credit hours.

My favorite was to go to the company don’t just go online. The personal touch matters. 

Current job I got from a recruiter that found my resume online 

Maybe 30 years ago lol

It's like they don't realize how much the job market has changed in the past 30-40 years. A bachelors degree has become the new high school diploma, and it's a heck of a lot more expensive.

Perhaps, if you want to work a 40 hour week, but why limit yourself, to average, for something you want?

Anyway, are you guys satisfied with this little exercise and can we go back to basketball now?

Your right people should slave away at 2 jobs instead of pricing something appropriately.

Who'd be down for having a July madness bracket where programs are seeded on seediness?!

I've got:
UNC, UL, KU, puke, Dook, MSU, Arizona, and Syracuse on my 1/2 lines

Honestly, we could construct a bracket if enough people are willing to make a list of programs. Maybe we could do just 32 teams as 64 is quite a bit. Although, we could probably get 20 of the teams from just the ACC and $EC.
