Why is there so much hate and judgement of entire groups of people on funsubstance. College students make up 65% of last year's high school graduates. That's a lot of people to be generalizing.
It's because colleges are becoming so pussy that even Obama had to step in and say that different opinions are a fact of life, and that you can't always just cover up your ears and ignore them.
Basically a college didn't allow a Republican speaker in the campus because his ideas were different and scary, so Obama had to make a speech about how were coddling our students too much, hiding them from the fact that people who disagree with them actually exist.
It's easier to pay off your debt if you have a worthwhile degree.

But it also puts life on hold. Because of the crushing debt, even if you get a job in a field you loathe because it's one of the "worthwhile degree" s, you need to pay that off before you get a house. You worry about starting a family when both people have over $50,000+ in debt for just student loans because you also have rent, utilities, groceries, life...it creates an alarming amount of stress.
I think you should live in a cheap single person apt with minimal living costs until you pay off your debts. Starting a family while in debt is not a very reasonable thing to do in my opinion.

It's not, which is why it's put on hold. And I'm currently in said situation. Except my degree isn't a good one, I was told i could use it like five different ways that would generate enough money for my preferred lifestyle, and I was dumb enough to believe them. I enjoyed my education, but so far it wasn't worth it. The way I was pushed to graduate ASAP though and the way they told us to take our classes (gen ed first, then major classes after) is just to get more money. I think it's fine to complain about the serious debts that happen when many people don't even know what constitutes as a decent degree (my high school gave zero help with figuring things out, and when I started college it was hard to find actual resources). Either way, debt is hard no matter what your job is. And penny pinching is definitely the way to survive
Hey, good luck with your debt dude. But by any chance, can you tell us what your major was?

Thanks :) and I started out as a psychology major (my highschool told me while "preparing" me I could use my bachelors to work as a psychologist) and ended up downgrading to what had been my minor anthropology (there were a lot of anthro gen eds so why not minor?) so I could graduate on time after I found out you needed extra schooling to do anything with a psych degree. They told me I could go into hr, work with the military, work with the govt and a few more things that would generate some nice income. They neglected to say you had to double major to do most everything worthwhile. My fault for believing them. But shame on them for being sneaky
What did Obama do?
