(13,029 posts)or are you just going to keep spouting the same lines?
Do I have to keep repeating, YES, I KNOW people are told they need all sort of things, EVERY FUCKING DAY. It's called ADVERTISING. Do you believe EVERY FUCKING THING you're told?? Do you go out and spend money on EVERY FUCKING THING you're told you need?? Why are all of these "people" you're talking about totally incapable of exercising the same judgement you are?? If that's such a line of bullshit, then they should be able to look around at the people they know and encounter every day and see plenty of them who have decent jobs with NO college degree, and plenty of them who have a worthless college degree and massive debt, and make a WISE decision for themselves based on that.
And yes, I know perfectly well what's happened to college tuition, and all about tuition loan scams. Are you saying these "people" you keep referring to are clueless and ignorant about that, and can't be expected to know any different? If people are being flat out lied to, that's another matter, but that's not what we're talking about, are we? The person in the OP article knew exactly what their repayment terms would be when they took all that money. No one held a gun to their head, and no one but them had the final decision on whether it was wise or not.
