    I intended to pay mine back. I took out 30k in 2005 and I pay $300 a month since 2009. I owe 40k now. Is that ok with you for the government to screw kids so hard on loans? No wonder we don’t trust anyone for their word. I wish it had happened to you so you could see.

    But you are just up there in management demanding respect so you would never know.

    Why work if your pay check doesn’t pay all your bills? That’s the main incentive to work and you act like it’s not important at all and we should just suck it up. Fuck you

      No I don’t think it’s ok for banks and the government to fuck people over. And just like every other debt, it’s too easy to get and much too hard to pay back. They prey on naive people that are sold the lie that they’re going to be some kind of astronaut or celebrity doctor if they take out a 100k loan for an “education”. Social media portrays people working these dream jobs and flexing their cyber trucks. This ain’t reality. But it’s sold as reality. Unfortunately, people are suckered into thinking that a 100k education = cyber trucks and log cabins at lake Tahoe.

      Fuck me? You’re mad at the wrong person
