Experian surveyed a group of Generation Z’ers (born after 1997) and found that only 19% of them felt like they understood how to manage their credit. Young Black students are too-often handed thousands of dollars in predatory student loans without a true understanding of what taking on that amount of debt means. They often don’t even know the fundamentals of how loans can affect their future and how to care for a healthy credit score

So who fault that is that they don’t know how loans will affect their future...


As a black man we can’t just let them catch us in all the traps smh. For profits schools are bad for all not just blacks. Y’all want us to have a monopoly on struggle so bad smh.

There's a lot of haters who didn't go to college on this site.

Dont forget the stigma towards math that keeps kids running away

Man, this!
I remember everyone saying how hard college level math was, and that discouraged me from even attempting STEM after I graduated

I remember them telling college students to study HTML lol. Then dreamweaver...

Stem jobs are being outsourced to foreigners on work visas and replaced with new tech and automation everyday.

Shaming people for not studying stem is a red herring and a distraction.

When you see IT workers and engineers getting paid less than 50k per year, you KNOW the system is broken.

Where?

Breh they outsource jobs but there are plenty and I mean plenty of jobs out here right now.

I mentioned on here for the last 2 years how DoD companies are begging for black folks in systems engineering and cyber security....they can't find enough of these folks.

Big salaries and and long careers.

Yep I saw this in college.

 

[Noriega]

The school system in black & Latino neighborhoods aren't preparing kids for science, technology & math. It's non-existent.

Not everybody can go into STEM or the medical field
who’s going to be the city garbage worker making $28 an hour?

Who’s going to be a factory assembly person making $20 an hour?

How many people on this site paying student loans up the ass

college is a L for *most* black people.

The main issue is not having a strategy when getting these degrees.

It is also the last 2 to 3 generations had no interest in certain fields educated black folks went into.

For example on my dads side 95% of the educated folks are teachers. The reason is because back then especially in Mississippi if you were gonna get an education and a job (staying in Mississippi) pretty much the only lane you could be in was as a educated black person was a teacher.

Back then many of my family members on my fathers side graduated from HBCUs in Mississippi worked then moved to Chicago or Cleveland or Detroit.

Now a days and the last 3 generations look at a field in teacher as beneth them. While not looking at being a teacher in cities up north allow you to have benefits that other folks don't have. You get a decent salary while also working for powerful unions. For example the chicago teachers union is one of the most powerful in america

The mayor comes up short on their money they will shut the city down and go on strike for a month if they have to.
