[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe, just MAYBE, the problem doesn't begin with the individuals who owe a shit ton. MAYBE the problem is in the system to begin with. Why on God's green earth should ANY school be able to charge a 22 year old that much tuition who has NO money of their own, and then continually compound on top of that ridiculous interest rates? What other situation in life is a person allowed to take out that large of a loan with no assets, no credit history, no savings?

WHY should a person have to choose between being buried in debt to get an education in order to HOPEFULLY a find good/fulfilling job and being uneducated and poor the rest of their life??? WHY the fuck isn't a quality education more affordable!? Wake up people, take the hood off your eyes. Sure, people should know what they are getting themselves into when they sign that dotted line, essentially signing their life away to be an indentured servant to the government for 10 + years. But guess what? The choices are pretty dismal for people who cant get a scholarship or don't have a family to pay for it. I certainly don't blame anyone for choosing to better themselves and the lives of others by getting an education.[/quote]
There's a happy medium here, PP. If people were complaining about $50 or even $100k in loans, I'd say fine. But $400k shows some serious, serious lack of judgment.[/quote]
