Frankly, a must watch for anyone with student debt and a must watch for anyone who pretends to know anything about American university students...


Forget destroying America, the west, forcing you to be vegan and marry a transsexual... this is the shit we are focused on.

True.  It would have been much better for offer free tuition in trade for time in AmeriCorp, Peace Corp, Habitat for Humanity .... all non-military service.  But unfortunately President Obama etc were neo-lib, they only cared about the banks making loans during the big downturn.  In return for service, the non-bankruptcy clause would be unnecessary, to protect lenders.

That is regardless if you think a particular course of study was worthwhile or not.  In some respects, existing colleges/universities are obsolete with the Internet today.  The old model is actually Medieval.

I had just over $100,000 in student loans paid off the day I left grad. school. I knew that would happen before I got the loans, certain parties wanted me to do a job I had done in the Navy, and that was part of the recruitment package.

My wife will be paying on her student loans for another fifteen years.

An investment.  But not all investments pay off, particularly if done on borrowed money.  In that case, if anyone wins, it is the bank, not you.

Sarcasm in words without a hint is dangerous.  If I misinterpteted Shiranu, I fully apologize.

But your sarcastic habit here attunes me to seeing posts that way.  DAMN!

I don't choose to be clear, except when I do ;-) ... the ";-)" is an indication.
