I Do, I Don’t-Want Your Student Loan Debt

Tues Sept 14

Grooms and brides are inquiring about the status of student loan debt. 


Many are discovering that they re about t o enter junk bond territory, and withdrawing from the proposed merger. Too many colleges are in the business of selling a degree  without  any cost benefit analysis. 

Since the student is not actually paying anything now, it is easy to keep signing the credit card. The results are increasingly catastrophic. No doubt this  is contributing to our growth, A & M has the lowest tuition in town among universities.

    The girl I work for is currently working to obtain her masters degree in accountancy online from the University of Phoenix. She pays a little over $2,000 each class. I would say we are not only the cheapest in town, but also have most other places beat as well.

    College education almost sounds like a trap; you need a degree to get a better paying job. If you get the degree with student loans then how can you afford to pay them off? Yes you will get the job you want but you are already in debt, it’s scary to graduate and know you are already in a whole that you cannot get out of.
