Surviving Student Loans and College Debt

managestudentloans Says:

Apr 5, 2009 - Those adds can be misleading... Please don't borrow $40,000 a year for college! If you borrow that much you will be in well over 100K of debt when they hand you your diploma. The last 3 tips are the great. The most important one though is number 2... don't over borrow! Borrow what you need to live your life and that's it - it will only hurt you later.

Aug 19, 2009 - Espcially having a history degree with a job working as a barista, and set back with 40,000 dollars! I laugh because I worked as a security guard and graduated debt free, and even had a savings. After 1 year out, I now have 50,000 sitting in my bank account

Aug 27, 2009 - I took out loans and today paying back loans to the government is like paying back the mafia. If you don`t have a job or the money to pay, they will take it our of your paycheck when you do work and take your income tax return money and then after years of paying them through garnishments, they can and will sell your loans to a finance company for 24 percent interest wheither you like it or not. They won`t even tell you before they sell them. All the U.S. is about is MONEY

Aug 31, 2009 - All True,,,IT guarantees you will pay them a chunk more of your pay in addition to the taxes. 51% of my income whent to the US government last year... THINK SERIOUSLY BEFORE YOU BORROW! Calculate the amount of tuition and realize that you will pay 300% by the time its all over....30 long years from now.

Oct 26, 2009 - Yeah--I have a degree in accounting that I haven't used for anything. I mostly lost interest in the subject after I graduated and had some office jobs that I HATED. I'm just glad that I went to a school that was cheap at the time. Today's 20-somethings are a "lost generation" with big student loan debt and few jobs out there waiting for them. I thought they were more "street smart" than that. Instead they were scammed into going to college and wasting all that money.

Oct 27, 2009 - its simple really colleges are a big rip off unless financial aid covers for it don't go and never take out "loans". they just scam people and make a living off of you while you pay off those "loans" on hidden interest rates. I'm not even going to start with this college shit why do you have to spend 50k to 200k to go somewhere where you learn how to memorize useless shit then get "tested" for it and won't ever use that "education" and forget most of it anyway give me a fucking break.

Nov 24, 2009 - Your going to get slammed with more debt than you can ever imagine if you go to med or pharm school. They don't make near uch money as they used to but the educations are well over 200k. The party's over for Doctors. I'm in the boat too. Be a doctor because you enjoy it, not for the money.

Jan 20, 2010 - You are an accountant, and I got my degree in Business Administration. I worked as a night security guard banking all my money in BMO Monthly Income Fund getting 6 cents per 8.15 unit. and did my homework getting paid for what I had to do anyways. I graduated with 10,000 in my bank account, and 2 years later, I have 63,000 in my BMO Monthly Income Fund. As of rent, I became a Resident Advisor, which included free housing as part of benefits. I did not get parental handout and did it alone.

Feb 28, 2010 - I feel sorry for your situation. Sincerely.

ticks4ticks4 Says:

Feb 28, 2010 - So true. And the "business angle" after residency. And where you want to work, in what specialty, where you want to live, etc.

Apr 5, 2010 - @swinggcat1 Your comment = Fucking genius, i always thought the same way period about most useless things students learn in high school. You have to take this many science classes, this many math classes, language, etc but nobody ever really focuses on what the kid really wants to do with his/her life. Anyway i my point is i pretty much agree with your comment

Apr 22, 2010 - Forget this video - I'm going to give you the best possible advice right now - do not EVER get a student loan. Need to go College? Work and save up. Still not enough for law school? - find another career. You'll thank yourself a million times in the long run. Just don't get scammed, all interest based loans are evil.

May 2, 2010 - @swinggcat1 I disagree. There are some schools that are VERY affordable. If you're not a baller, try looking at an affordable school instead of trying to go to Northwestern. Harris Stowe State University, for instance, costs 1,500 dollars a semester. Go to a small state school where you can get a part time jobs. College of the Ozarks in Missouri is FREE, because they have a heavy federal work study program. instead of downing college, find an economical way to get the degree.

May 12, 2010 - If you want to go to college, #1. Know why you want to go: what do you want to do after college? #2. Is college going to give you marketable skills to get a good job? If you major in women's studies, you are a fool because no one hires for that. If you need that to get into law school or poly sci, make that a minor subject. #3. Don't take out any loans for any reason! There are alternatives! 2.17 Million Unemployed College Graduates in 2009!!! US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Jul 18, 2010 - It is interesting how, in order to make money a person must borrow money. This doesn't make much sense. By the time a person finishes college, he or she comes out in debt, where jobs don't pay enough to pay off the debt, because most jobs are struggling financially themselves to afford to pay people anything to make some kind of a profit.
