I saw an ironic meme on Facebook last week.<\/p>\n
Basically it is a message from a student to the US government. It\u00a0says the German government gives you free college tuition. The\u00a0Finland government welcomes anyone in the world to get any level of\u00a0education at no charge. The Danish government will not only let you\u00a0in college free, but give you $900\/month for living expenses for 6\u00a0years. Then, it says in America you get loans at 10x the interest\u00a0rate we charge banks. If you don’t pay they’ll garnish your\u00a0paycheck. If you declare bankruptcy, you still owe. And, textbooks\u00a0aren’t even included.<\/p>\n
Then, of course, it ends with education is a “human right.”<\/p>\n
Is all that true?<\/p>\n
Let’s assume it is.<\/p>\n
My question to the eager beaver millennial who probably wrote it\u00a0is, if a college education is so important to you… and if you\u00a0think it’s too expensive in the US, there are obviously plenty of\u00a0colleges in other countries who will let you attend free. Why not\u00a0move to Germany? Or Finland? If you *really* believe your precious\u00a0college edu-ma-cation is going to be worth so much, it makes zero\u00a0financial sense for you to remain in America.<\/p>\n
Maybe I’m missing something.<\/p>\n
But, it sounds way\u00a0cheaper to:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Pack up and move abroad (including changing citizenship) … than attend a US University.<\/p>\n After all, I hear tell it’s roughly $9,139 per year tuition to\u00a0attend a *public* university.<\/p>\n (Even more for out-of-state or private tuition.)<\/p>\n That’s $36,556 in four years.<\/p>\n Plus, that’s not even including text books (which are more\u00a0expensive than a lot of high ticket info products…), housing,\u00a0food, transportation, and other fees. In fact, according to a site\u00a0that tracks this, combined it’s an average of…<\/p>\n $23,331.00 per year.<\/p>\n That’s $93,324.00 for 4 years!<\/p>\n (Not even including the interest<\/em> on any\u00a0loans…)<\/strong><\/p>\n And, since your college edu-ma-cation is so valuable and so\u00a0One-Ring-of-Power-precious, surely you will have no problem finding\u00a0yourself a high paying job, no?<\/p>\n I mean, isn’t that what degrees do?<\/p>\n Help get you high paying jobs?<\/p>\n So what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n A Republican to take office so you have an excuse to leave?<\/p>\n go, Go, GO!<\/p>\n According to the meme, Germany, Finland, the Danish government…\u00a0they want to take the tired, the poor, and the\u00a0edu-ma-cation-starved yutes.<\/p>\n You’re wasting your life in the US.<\/p>\n And, you’re wasting money, too.<\/p>\n Why pay for it when you can get it free abroad?<\/p>\n Why pay almost $100k on college staying in America when you\u00a0can get free college and, in at least one case (again, according to\u00a0the meme), get $900 bones per month free!<\/p>\n Don’t give me your excuses about not leaving family, etc.<\/p>\n Take your family with you.<\/p>\n It’ll be way cheaper.<\/p>\n Hey, they can ALL get free college!<\/p>\n Yes, I know you love your country.<\/p>\n But you can love it from a distance.<\/p>\n If college is your ultimate goal and is a human right, and your\u00a0kids MUST HAVE IT too… then why in the world would you stick\u00a0around the evil overpriced US? It’s not like anything is gonna\u00a0change around here any time soon, after all. Time’s passing whether\u00a0you go or not — why not go now? Why wait? Why pay $90k+ when you\u00a0can save that money and get your education free? Airfare, moving\u00a0expenses, paperwork… that’ll barely dent the $90k+ you’ll\u00a0be saving and is a pittance compared to what you’ll be making once\u00a0you have that golden-like degree. And since other countries are so\u00a0much better to their people, you should have no problem getting a\u00a0job or all the government assistance you need while your strong,\u00a0independent self gets that priceless degree.<\/p>\n Wait a minute…<\/p>\n What???<\/p>\n You still don’t want to leave?<\/p>\n Really?<\/p>\n Even after seeing how it’s cheaper to leave? Our education system\u00a0has obviously let you down then.<\/p>\n Okay, fine.<\/p>\n Then let your uncle elBenbo give you another option:<\/p>\n Start a business online.<\/p>\n No degree required.<\/p>\n Plus, you can do it in 4 easy steps:<\/p>\n 1. Find a market with an urgent pain<\/p>\n 2. Create (or find, as an affiliate or licensee) a product that\u00a0solves that problem<\/p>\n 3. Start building a list<\/p>\n 4. Mail it daily<\/p>\n 5. Join the “Email Players” newsletter when it makes financial\u00a0sense to do so. (Unlike the countries above I don’t provide\u00a0education free. Get your house in order first. I want people with a\u00a0proven offer and a list — even if a small list — I can help\u00a0ratchet sales up with using my system)<\/p>\n My way is pretty inexpensive, too.<\/p>\n And, you don’t even have to leave the country.<\/p>\n When you’re ready, go here:<\/p>\n
\n2. Live off your favorite government’s teet
\n3. Even bring family with you<\/p>\n
