[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 1645572, member: 10585"] I used a Dr. as an example. Not to single out a profession. The couple of people that posted about going to medical school seem to at least accept the load burden. I am not hear to argue about the cost of school. I just dont understand why anyone would think hey I agreed to the terms of this loan, I got what I wanted, now I dont want to uphold my agreement. There are many other ways to pay for college of all levels other than loans. One of the best options is to join the military. Even after college you can join the military and they have student loan repayment programs. For those in the medical field spend the first few years in the military pay off plenty of loans with no overhead for your practice. That is one option. But I know the military is for everyone else. There is also the if you cant afford it dont go approach. Studies have also shown that with a couple of exceptions it does not matter what school you attend for most degrees. So lets say you want a teaching degree do you really need to spend $30k a year at TU or could you attend TCC then NSU for well under $10k a year? Do you have to take 18hrs per semester and have no time to work? Or could you take 9hrs and work? Do you really need to live on campus or can you live at home? There are many things you can do to trim the amount of debt. The generation now entering college is a bad combination of generation now and generation entitlement. [/QUOTE]
