The average High School Student who can get into a State University usually doesn't have what it takes to take and get credit for an AP exam unfortunately.

Do you understand how mortgages work? You can't just not pay it off. There are minimum payments and if you don't meet them you will likely get your house foreclosed on. If you keep paying for the whole 30 year term you will by default pay it off. So what exactly are you talking about?

Honestly I think your position is only held by insanely privileged and narcissistic Baby Boomers or the 1 in 10000 devs that got a job at Google without a degree.

You seem to imagine that a generation of kids should be happy going to trade school and working as plumbers.

I know for a fact that at the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies you aren't even getting past the HR screen without a degree. What are those people supposed to do?

1. I don't think you understand how how student loans or taxes in the US work. 2. Your misplaced anger should be pointed at the rotten system that forced you to live on ramen noodles for 3 years even after getting a degree and presumably a good job.
