I paid for all of my Student loans. I only borrowed books and tuition. To those that run up 300K for a chicksh1t education .... TFB! go out and get a real job snowflake.
Why should any student loan be forgiven or lowered? If you borrow money you should pay it back. Just because some chose to pursue degrees in fields that don’t pay well if it gets them a job at all is no excuse. I’m also opposed to the government loaning an 18 year old thousands of dollars to live off campus in a fancy apartment and party all of the time. There should be limits for tuition, books, and dorm housing only. And then, only if grades are being maintained and progress towards a degree is being made.
After college I took a full time job using my degree and then continued to work a part time job on the weekends for several years. So for years I worked 7 days a week basically to make sure we could pay off loans fast, buy a house, invest young…. I don’t feel bad for anyone now as bad as that sounds. Pick a viable degree or don’t go and go into a trade, work more than 1 job if needed. It’s not just college kids, I see people begging for money constantly on Facebook or places like that who barely have 1 part time job let alone multiple. People need to get back to doing what you need to in order to get ahead and set yourself up.
