The student loan scam has wreaked horrible damage on our nation's young people. Tell young people the truth, which is that very few college degrees are worth what people pay for them today. Look at the earning potential of any degree and don't go into debt to get one.

Jobs are plentiful. Get two jobs and pay back your loans. No government intervention needed to fix the problem. Get out there and work hard!

Says the person who grew up at a time when a year of school costed 500 minimum-wage work-hours. Today, it's 2000 work-hours.

I have been paying on my kids loans for 25 years and I paid on mine for 20 years. What is your point? Pay what you owe

No other nation shackles their youth to student debt, only the USA does this. Sadly, there is always enough money for us to be bombing third world countries too.

Why the hell is government making student loans anyway? Now the rest of us have to eat those loans?

I did not go to Graduate school because I could not afford it and did not want huge loans I might not be able to pay back.

I’m in the same boat as you, but when you’re a 17 year old kid, the burden that these massive loans will become isnt quite as clear. You’re still young and naive and are just excited to be going to college. We need to better educate kids (and their parents) on what theyre signing

Well there lies the part of the problem. But people still need to take responsibility for their choices or they will NOT learn.

I paid off mine. I paid off my daughter’s. Why can’t they pay off their’s? Pick a major that will pay you a livable wage from a school that has a reputation for placing graduates into careers.

Don't get a doctorate or don't get anything if the cost is too high to work off. Be content and pay bills. When you are ready then go for something.

Don’t take out loans you know you can’t afford or have no intention of paying back. It’s possible to pay them off. I’ve done it. I think loan forgiveness is ridiculous. You took out the loan knowing it would need to be paid back. Pay it! It’s worth it!
