If you sign up for unsubsidized student loans.

then its your own fault for signing up for something that could wreck your credit and finances.

They WARN you that the interest rate is subject to change.

Street hustlers know how to earn the cash they need to survive.

You have to get street smart…instead of being a passive victim.

This is America where Capitalism rules.

Clever poor people come to America from other countries and manage to build small financial empires… with no education

Do not take out student loans. Apply for scholarships, work summers, work part-time during the school term. Make sure your studies connect to reality, that a job or profession exists at the end of your 4 years at College/University. Don’t do a Drama degree, or an English degree, unless you connect that to a teaching qualification, a graduate degree, or something practical.

I am over educated w/ 2 degrees and a giant student loan debt. 50k. Thats why I have an opinion about this. I was using examples of less privileged individuals in the US that manage to excel in spite of their hardships.
Its a freedom / privilege to go to college, decide on a major, and prepare yourself for a career. Since we live in a free market society, it’s also a responsibility to make sure what you are learning has some kind of marketability.
EVERYONE has to adapt to a changing market.

What a joke. People who take out loans of any type pledge to pay them back. If they don’t then it is the same as stealing. Student loans are no different. These people made bad decisions and want someone else to pay for it.
