In the good old days when I was young, I was a union carpenter's apprentice. I made a good living while being an apprentice, a damned good living for a young guy. I miss good unions.

Yeah, my niece is graduating from a good private school with $0 in debt, thanks to an extremely generous scholarship and the hard work of my sister to make sure she could live at home (selling her house and moving 22 miles to an apartment across the street from the school.)

In the meantime, her mother my sister still owes about $20K from her undergrad and graduate degrees, and doesn't make enough as a teacher to make more than the minimum payments.
