I don’t think anybody thinks college is reasonably priced today

I think there's a decent percentage who don't realize how much college prices have exploded in the last 20 years. Those that have a reason to look at the numbers would all agree it's not reasonably priced.

But when people say "I paid my way through college", they are showing they don't realize the difference is prices today compared to when they went to school.

I got my time at UGA paid for through academic scholarships. My wife paid her own way by babysitting. The reality is that pay for college age people hasn't increased very much at all while prices have quadrupled.

I don't really agree with student loan forgiveness. But when I see the whole "I paid my way", I feel that those people need their eyes opened to some degree. They're working with an incorrect view of reality when it comes to the price of college today.
