  Children are told that they MUST go to college to get a stable and high paying job. This is so prevalent that college degrees are just seen as “the next step after high school” and nobody questions it. These colleges have figured out they can charge almost anything because they are seen as the gate keepers to high paying and stable jobs. So banking on future earnings, bearly emancipated teenagers, with the absolute minimum of a financial education, make life decisions that will put them in debt for the next 20-30 years.

  The problem with the whole system is there doesn’t appear to be enough high paying and stable jobs.

  As far as going to a cheaper college, I think you identified the issue in your very own comment. Schools have different prestige levels. Yale, for example, is a high prestige school and not only are you paying for an education, you are also paying to connect to rich people. These connections can be worth a lot of money if they are used correctly. So going to a cheaper college also means less valuable connections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sugar vs baking soda to neutralize acid in canned tomatoes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sugar is neutral in PH, but can be used to help balance out overly acidic food. I would be worried that in this case it would just bolster the flavor of the lemon if it is strong enough that you can detect it in the sauce.

  You could try cutting it with some fat (milk, cream or butter), and I would try adding more onion and/or garlic.

  You should probably consider buying a different base tomato sauce in the future.
