How the fuck am i suppost to pay for an education?
    #8950966 -

So... here i am working my ass off and scraping up as much change as i can to try and pay for an education that i cant afford. scholarships, federal grants, and loans just dont cut it. im still in the hole for last semesters tution, but even after paying that off the question of 'how am i going to pay for the rest of this?' im stuck in that middle zone of not poor enough to recieve maximum government aid, but not rich enough to just be able to pay it and not worry.i have good grades, and im a minority so why don't i get more free money from the state or government than just this measly 2.5 grand?

Get a loan? no fucking way. I have a cousin with medical school debt over 60,000 dollars from federal loans. Her job teaching at a private university, even with full certification, is barely helping her to pay it off. with fees and interest she anticipates paying off about 140-180 grand in the end. She loves her teaching and doesn't want to leave it for a higher paying job at a hospital or private clinic. it looks like if she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in debt she may have to sacrifice what she loves doing. thank God i got an early warning and didn't fall into those dismal traps of predatory banks and loan sharks taking advantage of young naieve people.

And this is suppost to be the reward of higher education? Why should anyone have to go into slavery to collection firms like that just because they want a shot at a better life? it seems to me like the whole thing is set up to fling honest, hard working people into deep debt and allow universities and collection agencies an opportunity to make a killing.

I have a friend that will be $80,000 in debt when done with school. :crazy:

What kind of school are you going to? If your loans are relatively small, even like $20,000, you aren't going to see nearly the amount of interest and fees that your cousin has, because first they will be proportionately less and secondly they will be paid off a lot faster so, less of it to deal with it.

What is your major? One of my engineering friends paid for his public college education with loans and is going to pay them all off in the first year.

Your cousin is lucky as fuck.  People I know that have graduated from med school owe like 150 - 250 grand once they graduate.

Some countries will give you a free college edcation if you learn their language.

I think Germany and the Netherlands, but I don't remember.

Why not try that route? Study abroad... for free!

Quite your whining.  A full 4 year education, going to community college then state university costs about $25k.  Suck it up and borrow that money, or quit and get a job.

University education in america is extremely cheap.

Also, most of the time when you hear people with ridiculous loan amounts, they borrow that money and spend it on luxuries not school.  Then they whine as though school cost that much, but really the money went to restaurants, cars, vacations, movies, etc.

Fucking nigger-piss minorities. This is a perfect fucking example how any minority group will use any fucking crybaby excuse to try and get what they want.

Get a fucking job and pay for your education like everyone else. Maybe you'll get one quicker since affirmative action is fucking whitey of their jobs left and right. If you're lucky, the dept. of education will extend your grace period after you graduate since you're a minority.

Get the fuck on nigger, you don't belong in college anyway. "Only" 2.5k? Give it back so people who fucking matter in this world can use it. You expect to just sit back and get a free education? Forget working for it, LOL.

If you keep under the poverty line you dont have to pay it back!

I know a guy who got several phd's, was in school for 20 years and he just stays under the poverty line, even though he has degrees in molecular biology or quantum physics or something.

Why the fuck would you do that?

Why go to school for 20 years and end up under the poverty line?

If I were him, I'd take that 20 years free education, exit the fucking country and make $$$$$$+ in another country. Fuck, I'd apply to the Russians, the Iranians, China, Korea, Japan, etc etc etc. You could make HUGE bank.

Well he (thought) he could never get a decent job because despite his extensive schooling, he had NO work experience and most companies wanted to hire younger people anyway. Im sure he could be a college professor if he wanted(he DOES have a phd)

If you go to medical school only to end up teaching at a private school then quite frankly, you are stupid.  There are much cheaper ways to become a teaching professor, and advanced science degree would have been paid for in full.

Like others have said, go to a state school or community college.  I finished up school about 32k in debt (it was about 8k/year at the time).  Not sure why people bitch about this subject so much.

I feel your pain. But the system is not "set up" to cheat you out of an education. It does suck. It is unfair. But the world is never going to be fair. Human society is chaotic and largely unregulated. People do have to fend largely for themselves in a society with a bankrupt government.

The problem with this situation is very aggravating. Your parents gave birth to you without making sure they had enough money to give you a good life. This IMO is the primary consideration to make when having children, and your parents didn't care enough to think about it. Why aren't you angry at them for "holding you back"?

I'm in education and it really bothers me when parents do this to their children. Even the most low income families can pay for their children's education if they:

1. spend all 18 years of the child's life eating AT HOME.
2. Never take frivolous vacations
3. don't buy cable. EVER!
4. Don't have too many children. That shit is expensive.

My family followed this plan to get out of the ghetto. Instead of being mad at people trying to make a profit (whether it's fair or not), realize that your parents totally fucked you and were selfish with money and vow NEVER to do that to another human being.
