I'm not for college loan forgiveness. I saved and invested my hard earned money in CDs back when they gave you a 10% return when there was inflation. My freshman year was cheap I think it was $500 per semester and $2000 room and board in the dorm. Tuition like doubled or tripled by my senior year. My parents chipped in some and I worked 25 hours a week and summers to earn.

Now the graduates get a bonus when they are hired to pay off some of their debt.

My son and daughter never went to college. My son went to trade school in construction and was able to find work through the union and has plenty of work in Seattle. He kind of regrets not going to college because carpentry work is tough. My other older son works construction in Vegas for some firm and makes more than I do with my engineering degree.
