The real question for students is why did you get a loan in the first place? Because you thought you could earn a better living with a degree than without one. Sometimes that means the job you want requires a degree, sometimes it means it requires an education. So there are several way to pay for an education once you decided you will be better off with one.

  1. Work for for a couple of years out of high school (or before) and save
  2. Work full time during College and pay for it yourself (this is what I did)
  3. Join the military for three years and get the GI Bill (you can even do this as a reservist)
  4. Borrow money

Number 4 is the most expensive way to go. But if you feel your income increase due to an education or that your happiness that is derived from doing something love is worth it...borrow the money...

After you make that commitment....live up to it....

When you get what you wanted don't try to reneg on your commitment...

It's call integrity... don't leave home without it....

Absolutely not. Too many loopholes written right in. The occupiers will not be placated.

Don't you think that colleges should stop wifi in every building, stop the fast food in the dorms and reduce the salaries of professors, grad assts and administration? That would do more to reduce the cost of the loans than changing the interest rate. The problem isn't the rate, it is how much was borrowed in the first place... 5% on $10K is a cheaper than 1% on $100K
