Opinion: Student loan...

[CentralMass]

8. Your opinion is valid. So are other opinions favoring the $10k

Or full loan forgiveness.
There are a lot of people struggling to keep their heads above water and or drowning financially. Student Loan relief can help. Personally I don't think the $10k will put a dent in it but it is a nice start/gesture.

I wouldn't worry about losing votes on the issues. Student loan debt affecst people in both parties.
However the problems is what happens moving forward regarding the high cost of a college education. I lobbied my 3 to consider state schools that would have been much less expensive. I lost the argument to their teachers and other influences who told them that they were much too smart to go to those schools and to aim high.

Today I would recommend that any young person considering college should attend a community College for at least the first two years and then transfer to a more costly school only if necessary.
Or I would recommend trade school to thise interested and skip college altogether. It has become prohibitively expensive in today's economy.
