Dude, these people thought they would be resolved of everything when they were "handing" out all those free promises.
It is not just what you are hearing prior to taking out a student loan. I can understand that being somewhat predatory, even still im sure she received the info.
But she went through the entire bankruptcy process, you are talking extensive debt mapping and a process that includes debt education and counseling courses before even being able to file

Some of the people they quote in the article aren't rocket scientist, but they have to go out of the way to be this ignorant.
Even thought she wasn't paying anything, she thought her balance would be forgiven, but actually owes 20K a year for 10 years.

Shannon Khan, a 46-year-old mental health worker from Webster, Texas, hasn't paid her student loan for two months as she investigates her options.
She did not have to pay anything while enrolled in SAVE, but she was moved last fall to another income-driven repayment plan, with a required monthly payment of $847. She thought she was close to having her remaining balance forgiven, but she recently learned her payment will jump to $1,683 a month — an amount her loan servicer said she will need to pay for nearly a decade

She's fat, but not really the level of fat that I would have expected from reading this article. That seriously is fat enough that you'd be too fat for an American oil company's safety equipment? You see people as fat as her in America every day.

not only would she need to pay, but any amounts forgiven under the income driven repayment plans end, she would have to pay taxes on

She should've gotten a scooter and a dr to diagnose her with an incurable thyroid illness, then claimed undue hardship

Does the student loan industry suck? Absolutely! The industry and colleges prey on vulnerable people.
At the same time, a college student should be smart to do basic math. If they aren't, college isn't for them.
I came from a poor family and was a first generation college student. My parents basically kicked me out at 18 so I had no choice but to live in student housing. I remember my mom telling me to just borrow money because I would be able to pay it off after college. I told her that was stupid because I wasn't guaranteed a good job. I went to the school that gave me the most money, worked multiple jobs, and was dirt poor through school. I managed to graduate with only 8k in loans that I paid off as quickly as possible.
College doesn't have to cost 100k! I live in TN and community college is free for students. The unfashionable state schools (which are great schools) have tuition of about 11k a year without financial aid. There are so many options!

Where are you seeing her picture?

College is expensive. Too expensive.
College is expensive BECAUSE (in large part) government backed student loans. If you are a business whose "customers" can get a loan, regardless of financial status, credit history, etc, allowing you to get paid in full regardless of if you fully deliver your service/product (i.e. the customer graduates) why wouldn't you continue to raise the price of your goods/services? There's no risk and no real competitive marketplace because the government makes sure you (the college) gets paid in full even if the loan holder can't pay back the lender/government.

In conclusion, I don't think she really did anything wrong (except maybe going back for a second degree if that cost a lot) and I don't blame her.
There are a LOT of people who perform jobs every day that they don't particularly "like". But they do so to support their lifestyle...whatever that may be. Digging hole of financial debt until you find something you like is not a sound financial plan. As to the being too fat to work, that's 100% on her. (1) It's not all that difficult to investigate the job requirements prior to trying to obtain a job and (2) being obese is NOT mandatory. It is a choice.

ANC (the person I replied to) posted a picture of Ashley Dreahn. She's standing in the middle and is holding a certificate with her name on it.

She got a degree to become a social studies teacher but she realized that wasn't for her. So she went back to school and got a higher paying job in the chemical processing industry.
So she went from wanting to be a teacher to wanting to work in a chemical plant?

apparently not. Apparently she didn't read up on the physical requirements of the job.
Kudos on the initiative to try and better your employment prospects, but seems you should have used that liberal arts degree and applied to law school instead.

Now maybe posters will get why boomers say stop paying all that money for a high calorie coffee milkshake.

Thanks. My phone was slow and didn’t load the pic.
She’s gigantic, probably close to 400 lbs.

Student loan for an associates degree? How much does tuition cost for those schools? I can’t imagine it’s more than her grocery bill.

She took out a loan for an associates degree? From a community college? This bitch is dumb. Her students dodged a bullet. What was wrong with just being a teacher?
And now her fat arse will end up on disability while working at TDC.

It’s pretty mind blowing that someone can be intelligent enough to get a degree, but not smart enough to have any financial literacy.
