Well that’s just it really. Not only would I be bored, having a job where I could fuck off a lot of the day on KF means I’m replaceable. If field guys in my industry start getting laid off, it means civilization has ceased to exist as we know it. I’ll ALWAYS have a job unless we’re literally in the meltdown of the west. And even then my skills would still come in handy
That's what i'm doing right now dude. i'm doing both.
That's retardation. The student loan system is totally fucked, but the pell grants are about the only thing that works.
Google "college scholarship searches" and you will find countless public resources to search for scholarships that apply to you. Even if you're a white guy, you can find some money set aside by private endowment.
The fact that you cannot discharge student loans is absolutely fucked.
Here's the thing that I don't get (and yes I do plan on applying for scholarships soon)
Agreed, Obama and Biden made a real fuckign mess of it all. It was a huge sloppy wet blowjob to the banks/credit industry. The only reason biden was talkign about student loan forgiveness was it was yet another way to shove money into the banks who lobby him so hard.
A lot of people just want the entire college system bulldozed because of it being infested with bullshit, student loans/grants are just part of that system. I think some of it can be saved, and I hope it is.
Answer: all of them.
Personally I’m not against them. But I think you should only be eligible after your first year. I knew about 15-20 people when I was in college that fucked off for two semesters of drinking and partying and of course flunked out. So 20 people wasting a year is 5 full educations that could have been paid for for people who applied themselves. I think you should pay for your first year and get reimbursed after the fact. Then moving forward it’s covered. Also I think it should heavily prioritize STEM. Any liberal arts degree should be heavily scrutinized for eligibility
Not really. With most debts, you can take away whatever that was used as collateral: the house, car, etc. You can’t take the knowledge or the experience away. In that case, it’s perfectly reasonable to be non-dischargeable.
They didn’t lower the requirement (more than two standard deviations below the mean). They padded the standard deviation from the original 10 to 15. Average black American IQ is something like 85.
You can discharge student loans in bankruptcy. That's a common misunderstanding repeated everywhere, including the farms apparently.
So, what about people who go to community college first, get their A.A, then go to a university? those tend to not flunk out as much vs someone who goes to a 4 year right off the bat. Also, Pell grants already cover trade schools as well as colleges and universities.
And we're all very proud of you!
Maybe it's theoretically possible but nobody has ever heard of anyone successfully pulling it off.
For whatever it's worth, I'm not opposed to Pell Grants.
Really? Would you mind spoonfeeding me the Department of Education page regarding bankruptcy for student loans?
no its not.
