So we reward the trash degrees?[/quote]

Who reads the Gateway pundit for news.   And who are you to decide which degrees are worthy?[/quote]

If you can't pay back your degree with the salary from it , it's trash[/quote]

I grew up poor, in Appalachia, where people who didn’t really understand the situation and were not financially intelligent encouraged me to reject the full-ride state school scholarship in favor of taking out loans to attend the prestigious school everyone was so surprised I got into.  Everyone in my life who cared about me advised me to do it, and I did.  Years later, I am still paying back my high-interest loans.  I don’t qualify for any forgiveness.

A lot of you who are looking down on those who took out loans for “useless degrees” don’t understand that some people did not have college-educated families to advise us as people in your social class clearly do.  You don’t understand what it means to grow up in a poor town in the middle of nowhere where none of the adults in your life are financially intelligent enough to give you good advice, and who, many times, give you bad advice that is going to derail you financially for many years into the future.  A lot of poor and minority kids were and are told by people they trust that doing whatever it takes to go to a “good” college will “pay for itself eventually.”

Have some compassion.  A lot of the good financial decisions you made were due to having people in your life give you the right advice.  [/quote]

This may have held water 30 years ago, but everyone has access to the internet now, so there is zero excuse not to educate yourself about how this works.  People have been whining about the cost of college and the burden of student loans for at least 20 years, so it’s not like this is some closely guarded secret.[/quote]
