On: Ask HN: What to avoid in life?

[titanomachy]

I loved learning math and physics with motivated peers and experts to guide us. I'm quite sure I would not have been able to learn the things I did on my own. I'm not sure what I would have done if I lived in a country with education as expensive as you describe.

I hope that the US can find a way to help bright and motivated young people have a similar experience without taking on crippling debt.

Some community colleges in the US are $100-300 per course, and they offer most of those same core math & physics courses, without the crippling debt.
