Someone getting a degree in dance shouldn’t be permitted to take out the same amount as someone getting a degree in engineering.

Too many colleges are trying to become resorts and country clubs these days instead of education campuses.
Look at all the fancy new buildings and dining halls and residence halls and all these flashy bells and whistles that have nothing to do with education. Yes it might appeal to rich 1%ers from California but for most students they are getting a raw deal because its not worth it. There are only so many 1%ers whose parents can pay for their kids college.

What is happening at colleges is like what is happening in Las Vegas
Las Vegas used to be a town that catered to everyone. Now all Las Vegas cares about is catering to ultra rich millenials.

How would the OT handle this issue?
Work harder and pull yourselves up by your bootstraps you lazy snowflakes.
Back in my day we were mentally tougher and walked backwards up snow covered hills both ways to get to school.

There is currently $1.5 trillion in student loan debt the US compared with only 1 trillion in credit card debt. mind boggling
We hear parents say “don’t take out credit card debt!”. We don’t hear parents warn about student debt

Also, tie federal loan amounts to the average projected value of the degree.
So pre-med kids don’t get shite for loans, right?
Posted on 11/7/19 at 1:46 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
They did, that’s why current loans are not dischargeable.

Just get rid of student loans, especially federally backed student loans.
People can't afford college? frick 'em. Let the market dictate the cost of college, like everything else.
The system we have set up allows universities to consistently raise the price of tuition without repercussion.

You realize that's a STEM degree, right?
I'm guessing you didn't go to college.

Yeah, that didn't make much sense. Loans that are purely market driven are quite alright, and even advantageous. It's federally guaranteed loans that are the problem.

There is no market currently, well there is but it's "fake".
I would much rather an increase in federally backed scholarships for academic performers, than federally backed student loans that allow any Tom, Dick, or Harry to get a loan to pay for a useless degree, and then not pay it off because they feel like their education wasn't worth it.

And?
The standard proposed was that loans should be based on the economic value of the degree. Biology and chemistry bachelors degrees are economically worthless.
I'm guessing you didn't graduate high school with your reading comprehension and reasoning skills.

while many of the people who pause or defer payments due to hardships end up paying more than they originally would've owed
I'm finishing up a graduate degree and the crooks servicing my loan automatically placed me into deferment status (after several straight years of autodrafted on-time payments) and the only notification I received was an email with a subject to the effect of 'We noticed you are enrolled in school part time'.
I now owe more money than I did when I graduated
