200K in loans IS financial sacrifice.You really think that student who took out 200K for an undergrad degree experienced a lot of financial sacrifice? That's kind of hard for me to fathom.

Persistence. Good for him. Why be critical?disykat said:EXACTLY! And he still did it!
The education provided. The college's reputation. Specific courses or degrees. Somebody in your family went there. You're the first in your family to even go to college.disykat said:Makes me wonder WHY? What would possibly make 25 years of half your income worth it?
Small loans will typically not provide a college degree.disykat said:Again - exactly. It's a choice they are making. Choices have consequences. Small loans make sense for many and carry manageable consequences. Large loans have large consequences.
In all seriousness, you might consider running into different people.My strong opinions come from the 200K student mentioned as the example of the recipients and the many people I've run across over the last few years that seem to believe people shouldn't be held accountable for student loans.
