Didnt watch the video but there is a way out for her. She can have that loan forgiven if she gets a civil service job or becomes a school teacher. They will forgive that debt in 10 years. She can also get on the plan where they only take 15% of your income, not sure if its net or gross. She has to do her research.

I disagree

Some students are so far behind in math and science, they won't even get a degree within 6 years.

There’s space and opportunities out there without the need for a degree, though (Hell im still degree-less). And the way things are going I’m sure there will be more.

To all the aspiring thespians in this thread or website. Unless you are wealthy or you have great connections in Hollywood, do NOT get a degree in Drama/Theatre. That's the biggest waste imaginable. Just go to an acting school around your city and take classes.

Here's the problem with American education: it's viewed as an investment, as a way to make money, and not a way to elevate a student's knowledge and contribute to the advancement of human civilization. Not that drama studies is a way of achieving these goals, but still, it's the principle of it. Education is cheapened the more its treated as a profit business.

I give it until Friday before another thread is made where you'll find a lot of the same people in here sniggling and giggling at someone else's misfortune crying about how society/life sucks, and how they never fit in anywhere during grade school because they were socially awkward. :mjgrin:

Stupid.
I don't know how to end up $118k in undergrad loans :gucci:
Most schools don't even cost that much :dwillhuh:
Reminds me of that retarded woman Belle Knox who paid almost full price to go to Duke (turning down state school full-rides), and then claimed she had to do porn to survive. :francis:

I'm in the final year of an honour's degree in history and my student debt is $14,000, levied at 0% interest, and I don't have to make a single repayment until I report a weekly income of $1,100 to the tax office :wow: if I never report an income that meets the threshold or if I move overseas permanently, I don't have to pay a cent of it

My debt would be even less if I hadn't failed a few classes and had to retake them. If I passed everything first go I would have owed under $11k. shyt, I've saved enough to pay off my debt twice over, lump sum single payment, in the seven years I been at uni :dead:

America lost with its neoliberal education model :nyclost: our system of government subsidised student loans means that to some extent, we can pursue our passions at university, instead of being forced into bullshyt B. Commerce and B. Petrochemical Engineering degrees that nobody really wants to do for any reason other than its not financially viable to study anything else because loans.

The best system is in Denmark. It's 100% free there, so you can go and study whatever it is that grabs your interest, without having to worry about economic pressures - which is the way education should be everywhere in the world.

People gotta stop living for their parents.

Your parents are gonna grow old and die and youre gonna be by yourself one day

Its your life. Not theirs.

People gotta do whats best for them... Not blindly following their parents or society.
Plenty of people struggling because they tried to "follow their dreams" and do what they thought was best.
For kids who are upper-middle class, and have parents who tell them to be bankers, managers, lawyers, doctors, dentists, etc.
Parental advice is better than running the streets of LA trying to be an actor/photographer/model/Youtube personality.

Technically she doesn't have to pay anything back until she's done with school. All she needs to do is stay enrolled in a cc taking online classes. :ehh:

That'll buy her some time at least.
