NonDawg So I've been researching for articles about what life will be like after COVID-19 passes through.

[Electric City Dawg]

The biggest loser that I've seen mentioned a few times is: College.

One journalist stated that 2020-2021 will be the time to take a "Gap year" for students. Parents investment portfolios are a disaster. With the cash families do have on hand, will they choose college or other things. Do people really want to be in classrooms with people from all over with the new mindset?

Colleges not equipped for online are in trouble. They estimate enrollment for the Fall could be at a record low as people explore other things waiting this out. State funded schools should survive but expensive, private schools will be left scrambling.

I was simply looking down the road for my business and what to expect on the other side of this. Reading about Colleges is really depressing. Imagine if students took a year break from College and what that would do to College towns everywhere.

The other negative impact would be large sporting events too. Nobody will want to be side by side with strangers. Attendance plummets.

Larry the Cable Guy tweeted yesterday. On January 1st I thought 2020 was going to be the best ever. By March 21st I'm wiping my butt with coffee filters!

Good. It’s time for the higher education bubble (racket) to bust

This is sort of a joke

Sorry, but once this virus has a vaccine, the economy will reset and new businesses will be developed. The government will come up with a plan to help out universities/students continuing their education. This is not going to be the end of large group gatherings or universities as you project. Of course, there is going to be a severe financial impact of just about every business, small and large, very few people will go through this time period untouched. I don’t know anybody that believes anything that a journalist says.

It is an industry that needs thinning. I think the college towns will be okay because places big enough and or established enough to have towns built around them will be the ones that remain. Not to say there won’t be a lot of turnover / collateral damages in those towns but that seems to be the case even during the best of times.

American Universities have been removed from the dynamics of the market. Nearly all individuals having access to federally subsidized loans has led to the proliferation of administrative positions at the schools that has in turn driven up the sticker price.

Rinse, lather, repeat. The economics of college as an investment have really changed a lot over the last few years. I graduated from UGA about a decade ago, and it’s a much different landscape now than when I matriculated.

It will be a different world when this is over. A large number of small businesses will be gone Some of your favorite restaurants, bars, hair cutters, nail places, small grocery and retail places won’t open back up. High unemployment, and millions will have lost their nest eggs. Home sales and construction in the dumpster. We will recover, but it will take a minute.

Things will change, but you underestimate the American people. We want to GO. Go to restaurants. Go to the ballgame. Go travel. Gonna be a lot of pent-up energy looking to get unleashed

Yea. Let’s believe what someone on the Dawgvent says instead

 

[MCinATL]

Nah, all the kids who end up with full student loan forgiveness, brought to you by the socialist faction, will now go back for advanced degrees - on brand new student loans.

 

[Rick Dawg 11]

Yea, let’s mock those that are skeptical of journalism instead.

 

[BaronVonHeinsteidel]

This doesn't sadden me in the least. College is a ponzi scheme for the vast majority of people.

Believe I already did...

Hopefully the kids that weren’t college material won’t be able to get back in and they can join the workforce instead of sucking our taxpayer dollars. Hopefully tuition decreases

housing market stays down, think the average home currently is worth 250k. Not bad for all these minimum wage poverty folks who want things for free.

If these businesses don’t loose too much by their workers working from home then we may have less traffic in Atlanta and everybody will love that from a mental health and carbon footprint aspect

I think attendance at events will be cut in half, with older people not attending. Jmho

I guess we will find out, not all older people have a medical condition and those that don’t have a medical condition will show up. Even those older people with a medical condition will find someone to use their tickets.
