This Picture Will Make You Think Forgiving Student Debt Isn't So Crazy After All

[DiverDave]

143. So you EXPECTED to have an argument? why?

I think it's great you had the wherewithal to be able to pay back your debt.
But to come down from your horse and tell us that shes LYING is just wrong.
I have a student loan that I am behind on.
I did what all the "bootstrap" yelling people said to do.
I went back to school after being injured at work.
I was unaware that the 'school' wouldn't prepare me for ANY job in the field until I finished
( close to the top in my classes too)
I expected that if the feds gave money to a school they would AT LEAST check out
hiring rates after graduation.
Oh, and the school closed and renamed itself and is STILL doing the same thing.
The new meme is to start your own biz, with NO experience, against folks
that have YEARS of it.
I no longer work in the field, I couldn't find anything except low paid
contract work.
But I STILL owe 36K and no end in sight,realistically. (unless I find a winning lotto ticket,
as I cant afford to BUY one)

I, too, have paid as much as I can afford (regularly), but still fell behind as my kids will eat before I send more money
to service a loan that did NOTHING for me at all.

So think before you get caught up in this 'argument' again.
Maybe there are other circumstances behind peoples stories.
