[quote=Anonymous]PP here. I honestly and passionately disagree:) It is our duty to prevent 18 year olds from making a serious mistake. Just because a college sends them a glitzy brochure (or a few dozen), does not make it a good decision. We don’t let them drink or smoke at that age, do we? Because drinking and smoking has bad consequences, just like taking loans that you can’t repay since you are making minimum wage same as an old HS classmate. Except that the classmate does not have to repay college loans and has a 4 year head start in making money and work experience. Yes, it sucks to make education choices based on money, but we all make choices based on money, don’t we? Want to be an artist, but can’t get loans? Major in public health and minor in arts, have a fallback plan to allow you repay loans. Or don’t take loans, be a true starving artist student - live off campus with 6 roommates in a cheap area, eat Cheerios three times a day, work at night. [/quote]
