>all these people whining
The principle is that they're doing something they need to do to have a good life (i.e. get a good job) and that society wants/needs them to do (i.e. have specialized skills to fill a role), and they're not happy about being penalized for it so much. If you think that's whining, that's fine, but it's a reasonable thing to take issue with when looked at that way.

You guys are missing the point.
Education prices have been jewed to hell and back, and back to hell, and back.
You don't need even $30k per student to run a womyns study program. But jewniversities will charge 3x that and make students take pay with government grants or private scholarships, slave labour or parent's money, AND student loans combined.
There's new books students have to buy every year even on static subjects like fucking calculus because jewniversities make contracts with book publishers for kickbacks.
Jewniversities have connections with industries and pull strings to prevent hiring people without degrees at all costs.
And the money isn't even going to teachers or better education, it's pissed away in redundant but still useless administration and million dollar football coaches.
The healthcare industry is the only one more despicable.

No one owes her shit. She could have worked summers to pay half that off, but odds are she traveled Europe or some shit banging Frenchmen and "discovering herself." My wife's son has a friend who "studied abroad" on a Caribbean island for 6 months and took out a loan to pay for it. She also financed a brand new car and now is graduated and complains about her student debt. Give me a fucking break. My nephew graduated debt free by working summers and nights, living with his mom, and plowing through school in 4 years flat. No one owes you shit in life. Live accordingly

You're simply missing the point of the "guaranteed return" in the eyes of universities. It means there is no need for competition and books costing $200 is completely normal, as it is guaranteed. My college now has spinless books that require binders to be purchased separately. If there was actual competition, that wouldn't be in our reality. Why? Cause' who the fuck wants to buy a spinless book that you have to buy a binder for AND you're still paying $200 for it!

Simple fact is, the US can more than afford to pay for higher education for every qualified American. Period.
Instead we (as in the government,) spend our money on crap and waste, especially in the military. Look at the DD(X) project. Was supposed to create the next generation of American naval supremacy, and it will fucking sink in 40 foot seas. Good thing we don't have to worry about the North Atlantic. And, they're running four billion a pop to make, not counting the 30 billion in R&D that went into the thing. The LCS boats, 24 "ships" that can't stand up in 20' seas, none of which are fully operationally capable (since the "mission modules" that go to make them work aren't fully loaded out yet,) at a half-billion each, not counting the 25 billion that went into that project. That's 100 billion, wasted on ships that can't fight their way out of a bag, when we could have saved money and bought another fleet of 3rd flight Burkes instead.
And that's not counting the $2 trillion dollar boondoggle that's the F-35. For that amount, we could wipe out all student loan debt, and give free college to every qualified American through 2020 (or if we weren't going to wipe out the debt, give free college to every qualified American until 2048.)
TL;DR - too many shitty programs having money spent on when higher education and trades schools would be a better return on investment

How the fuck can you not pay back 30k?
Any half-decent job requiring a college degree would allow a quick repayment. If you're to make us think that 30k is a debilitating amount of debt, how the fuck do you think people can afford cars and houses?
If you can't pay off 30k with a college degree, that just tells us you're a bottom tier performer.

If anybody studies any kind of 'art' - you deserve what you got.
Ever wonder where the phrase 'starving artist' comes from? All the old masters were poor and had patrons, none was rich in their lifetime. Fewer authors too. Suck it up and learn to bullshit.
If you study philosophy, politics, economics, etc either became a politician or salesman.
meanwhile, in /biz/ and reddit, infographics all over the internets, marketing is still considered a low tier or pleb tier degree.
Marketing and sales drives every company and successful person.
Protip - you will learn more about marketing in 1 year by selling products and services, than any graduate.
While they are playing mathematical games with their debt and job-hunting, you can be tweaking your campaigns, positioning, pricing, etc
Nothing has the potential to earn money like effectively selling a product or service, even if you didn't build it, create it, have a monopoly, have a sales job or permission to sell it.
Nobody will pay you $5k a month, but that is considered peanuts in marketing terms.
The time and mental energy it took these people to write out a few application forms and take pictures of signs could have been spent making a value proposition or business plan.

What else was she suppose to do you Jew? I mean you have these kids that were taught all their life by liberals to go to college after high school. All during high school kids are harassed about college, the future, and the "perfect job". It is made out to be that if you don't go to college, you're a retard bound to be a janitor living in your moms basement.
Thus kids go to college and pull out loans, as they are unable to pay it themselves. And it's not like their baby boomer parents are worth a wank. They couldn't even teach them financial guidance, as them themselves are in a mountain of cc debt. I mean what do you really expect when the schools don't even teach you to balance a check book, parents can't even manage their own finances, schools and parents are memeing college all day everyday, and the government is giving out loans as if they're candy.
I blame the baby boomers. Thx guys.

Even if you go to community college the books still cost an arm and a leg, and sometimes there are additional costs that are stupidly high.
I took a Linux course at one that required a subscription to a website/service/software package called LabSim. The software running through the site fucking suuuuuucked. Sometimes it would run slowly, sometimes it would crash, sometimes it would fail to register you'd done what you needed to do for the "simulation", and it was always missing around 90% of what you'd expect from an actual functional Linux distro. Even the teacher didn't like it, but he couldn't replace it, because he couldn't find another product that did the same thing, and no one wanted to code one from scratch, and there wasn't time enough in a class period for him to go around and watch everyone do the exercises (and who would want to do that anyway).
How much did I pay for the privilege to run this piece of shit across a network? It was $111.25, plus tax. That's on top of the book, which was $59.99, plus tax. That $171.24-- but that's just one course! The other course I took that semester had a $140 book. That comes out to $311.24 for a semester just on required shit. That was one of the more expensive semesters I had, but I'm pretty sure all of them went to at least about $175 in books.

I tried to stay away from anything too loaded and you still twisted what I said.
I didn't say anything about deserving a college education (because I don't think that's some inherent right), and I definitely didn't to anything to create this system.
I didn't call paying back loans "punishment" or "trickery" or "harassment" or anything, I thought "penalty" was neutral enough.
How about this: These people think paying for college for years and years is too steep a price.
They think it's too steep a price for something that they believe they need to do, and which society wants them to do, and which many of them-- not all, maybe not most, but a lot-- will actually need to get a stable job.
>just work while you go to college
Have you ever gone to college full time? It's like a job in itself. They expect you to spend a lot of your free time studying, doing research, solving problems, writing papers, etc., and to pay for the privilege to do that with their special book and 1-3 hours a week of contact with someone that, once upon a time, did what you're learning to do (or sometimes still does in their free time). That's not to say it's unfair or it's trickery or it's inhumane or anything, but it's rough. I would not want to try to work while doing that.
What about part-time college and a part-time job? Well then you're going to be in college about twice as long-- I hope what you're majoring in still has good job prospects when you're 32 and you're not fucking sick of it already!

And did she actually go into a field that was hiring or even look for a job in the field of study she did? I know of a guy who got an agricultural degree and ended up driving a truck. I asked why he didn't pursue the career he studied for and he said that no one around was hiring. I asked him why he didn't move to places that were hiring he said it was too much trouble. When I asked why he didn't take out a loan and start his own farm he said he didn't have time. So he basically thought that life would be handed to him when he graduated and gave up when he found out he had to work at it. Which is no reason for my tax dollars to bail him out of his bad decisions.

What about prices of books and tuition if we're giving all this money out with an interest rate? Plus what about the 5.5k pell grant we give out? And the money we give back for spending on college?
Well of course it will raise tuition prices, books, and other necessities for college. Why wouldn't it? You have an influx of people with money just handed to them and they want a higher education. We raise prices, they pay up. Duh.
Sir I think you're onto something. Now we can give our football coaches million dollar salaries and splurge on buildings, sidewalks, more buildings, bigger football fields, and everything else that doesn't help our students!
Just a note that this money ends up in the economy. Now you have a huge amount of money in the economy that's not suppose to be there that people owe on. How is this not understood? It also decreases competition.

I think people are missing the bigger picture that it doesnt matter how many people have post-secondary education. The amount of jobs in the market is not going to change. Suddenly everyone has a degree and guess what? Oh that's right, there isn't enough high skilled jobs for everyone in the first place. You're still going to need guys that work the shit jobs.

they can just buy off the credit and write off the "debt" which is just money to a third party entity like the government or the federal reserve or some third party like a rich guy or whatever

>I know people that didn't even go to college or trade school that net around 50k a year as fast food managers.
You say it like, in your world, there are more manager job offerings than regular worker employee for a fast foot joint.
yeah dude, in every fast food joint there are x3 managers per each 1 regular worker

This.
The last fast food job i had back in the 90s had me slotted for manager training as i had prior restaurant experience. Virtually anyone with any kind of food service job experience will be looked at as potential management types.

>These people think paying for college for years and years is too steep a price.
Maybe they should have gone to a cheaper college, or worked more part time, or maybe if they truly couldn't afford it they just shouldn't have bought something they could not afford in the first place. Where the fuck do you even get logic like this? Hell, I think a Lamborghini is too expensive. Maybe if I take a loan out for one I can't pay it should just be forgiven after a certain number of years of trying REALLY hard to pay it off.
>They think it's too steep a price for something that they believe they need to do
>that they believe they need to do
>they believe
Aha, here's the source of the problem. "I believe something therefore I shouldn't be responsible for any consequences of being wrong and society should give me free stuff to help me support my belief."
Look, people got fucked by a system that was DESIGNED to fuck them (not disputing that in the least). But their own choices were critical to their fucking. Being taken advantage of still requires you to be a fool and fall for it. And when someone asks Uncle Sam to bail them out of poor decisions THEY MADE (regardless of whether the government or society or whatever egged them on to make it) who do you really think gets the dick?
>The people who made the poor choices?
NOPE
>The people who exploited those poor choices?
NOOOOPE
>Everybody else
Lol, of course.
You'll have to excuse me if I'm more than a little unenthusiastic about the prospect of paying for the mistakes of a bunch of stupid teenagers when I just graduated from college debt free a few years ago, because I'm who it really affects, not the aging boomers who are finishing their careers and about to live out the rest of their comfortable "I got mine" lives paying next to no taxes.

That's very true, and there's another thing: it raises the bar and you get situations like mine-- I didn't finish college and despite trying for 9 months I have yet to even get a job cleaning toilets and pushing carts despite applying for positions like that a bunch of times.
That said I think there's... if not a valuable idea, at least a valuable drive, in this.
Unless you take AP classes or college prep or advanced electives, high school does not and probably will not teach for things higher than so-called unskilled jobs, and those unskilled jobs are falling by the wayside. They might not ever go away completely, but the job market is going to keep shrinking for a good while. It will never get back to where it was before good, cheap automation, and it probably won't even get back to where it was very recently.
>they won't automate away janitors
That's one of the next 5 jobs that'll start disappearing, I'd stake my neetbux on it.

The thing is they're not entirely wrong. You can get good jobs without college but it takes longer, and if you have some technical you like (or are good at) it can be essentially impossible to break in without a degree.
but sure, the matter of the system fucking you over
How did you know this going in? Why do you expect every student to know it?
I knew because of my mom. I'm not sure it was even a student loan thing, she might have just been really worried about loans period, but she was adamant that I wouldn't take one. If it wasn't for her the chances are quite good that I would have taken out a loan eventually, and now I'd be in debt.
So, what, if you have dumb parents (and maybe a bad school district, because I sure did and they never brought it up), it's your fault?
>Hell, I think a Lamborghini is too expensive. Maybe if I take a loan out for one I can't pay it should just be forgiven after a certain number of years of trying REALLY hard to pay it off.
Is that really what you think the logic is? You think they don't think they can pay it off? I can assure you lots of college students truly believe they're going to be living the high life months if not weeks after graduation and will have money to spare. I can also assure you lots more fret and worry and run the numbers three times before taking a loan-- and then hit bad luck or just find they were too optimistic in their math.
I'm not saying either of those groups (let alone your "fake it 'til you make it" example) should be utterly and immediately cleared, but let's not demonize them either, let's treat them like human beings in a tight spot who acted dumb and almost definitely now feel dumb and regretful, even the ones ranting about debt forgiveness.

>Willingly agree to take classes for $30K+ (likely for some worthless degree as well).
>It's someone else's fault I'm in debt.
Here's a concept: work. I worked shitty part-time jobs during school and I wound up graduating with minimal debt (like $3k), which I paid off within a couple months.
