quote: I'd be interested in knowing what her age is, what her degree is in, and how much debt she has I didn't know what the shite I wanted to do after high school. I only knew that I wanted a few years away from baseball. Instead of jumping into college and taking meaningless classes towards an unknown major, I went to work. Somethings happened and I was pushed out of a job that I hated, and since I had no post high school education and not much experience doing much else besides working in the auto industry, I turned to the oilfield. I put my time in working the field, and now have a nice office job with an amazing company. Oh, and no student debt. Having a degree probably would have saved me a couple years in the field, but I'm overjoyed with landing this job through my knowledge that I gained by working hard. You don't always need to have a degree. And my thoughts about what you asked initially. Those lazy fricks need to grow up and learn how to work and earn their way.

| Student loan debt hits $1 Trillion...Occupy Student Debt wants it all forgiven and college to be free...what ever happened to personal responsibility? No one made people get into student loan debt...they chose to LINK Reply • Back to Top |
quote: While I agree, all of this cheap money handed out by the government has led to a sky rocket in tuition prices. It is one thing for private schools to put you in 100k of debt, it is another for a public school to do that. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: I'm all for the government getting out of the student loan business. If you can't afford college or get a private loan then go to work. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I don't think it's too much to ask these consumers to do a little homework and math before signing on the dotted line and getting money for college. If they're studying journalism and take out 80k of loans for a career that starts at 40k a year, they should realize its gonna take quite a bit of time to see any daylight. Just because you can get a degree in ballroom dancing and just because you can get student loans from the fed to study that, doesn't mean you should. Reply • Back to Top |
| That chart is completely insane. Where is all that money going? Reply • Back to Top |
| College is free, as long as you work scholarships. I didn't get a single needs based scholarship and I never paid a nickel in tuition until my last year in MBA school and that's only because I quit my GA position that was covering 3 grand in tuition to go for a better paying job. People who take out loans to get a shitty degree from an expensive college are dumb. Reply • Back to Top |

| Slow is just pointing out that the government through its lending practices inflated college tuition. I have a shite load of debt and my major isnt ballroom dancing. Decent job, trying to pay it back with all available means. This chick has one thing correct, the people I went to school with are no where near homes or children (im 27). Youre gonna see that argument come up a lot for people looking for a bailout. This post was edited on 4/25 at 10:35 am Reply • Back to Top |
| So what, is she starving? She's basically just bitching that she has to work hard to pay for a better future. Get in line bitch. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Either she: A: Believes that people shouldn't be paid for proving a product/service (education), which would make her a hypocrite. B: Believes educators should be be paid, just not by her, which would make her a lazy arse dysfunctional leach. Either way, she needs to sit down and STFU. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Defined Benefit Pensions. That is all you need to know about where that money is going. Reply • Back to Top |
I'm gonna go with quote: I for one am glad she has to delay having children. I wish somehow we could ensure that behavior continues for the rest of her child-bearing years. Reply • Back to Top |
