We should just have a way in certain situations to be totally forgiven of loans. I don't mean the way it's set up now where you have to wait several years..never have to pay them back or at least pay a lot less with no interest.

The worst part of this is like I said in a thread from a long while back, a lot of us probably never asked for this. We never wanted to take out loans and have to go to college. In high school they push you to further your education without even telling you where to go to get to where you want or help you decide what's best for you.

It's too late for it now but student loans should have been an optional thing you do when you go to college because maybe if they were less people would be in debt. If they weren't mandatory I wouldn't have taken one out because I really hate the idea of owing money.
This is difficult to believe.

So sad to read of your experience with Trumpf University. Mandatory student loans, tisk, tisk, tisk.

Meanwhile, OP is as right about grad students as he is when he stops in at the Colorado forum to take us all to task for daring to live in Colorado. So very right and so incredibly wrong!

The only way the R's can keep getting people elected is by making sure very few people go to college, same reason DeVos wants to derail public education, to make sure poor kids have the worst education possible. One thing for sure, they know they need a lot of dumb people to vote for em.

It's funny how Trump basically got a pass from his supporters for Trump University, when that was a far more ****ed up thing to do people than anything most politicians running for a prominent national political office have ever done.

There is no college or university in the US that requires you to take out student loans full stop.

Go ahead Trump. Cut that student loan deduction, and then watch as the millennial voters flock to you in the next election.

Yep, and note the total lack of outrage over the provision to allow rich people to send their kids to private K-12 school tax-free.

It's not so much that they hate college grads. What they hate is economic mobility. They are largely failures who don't want anyone else to climb the ladder and make them look bad, or rich people who hate the thought of a dirty poor or middle class peasant making something of themselves.

Thank you. I forget that many around here - especially Trumplings - have no sense of humor and sarcasm flies right over their heads. No LEGIT college or university requires you to take out a loan if you're fortunate enough not to need one.

It amazes me how right wingers are "proud" to turn their backs on a college education - surely one of the major ways that folks can improve their lot in life. But you do need to spend the time studying and you need to comprehend what you read. Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised...

In many cases, two part-time jobs don't pay enough like one full time job.
