She graduated with a Bachelors degree in marketing, a field that is always hiring. She then started working, while still living at home, on her Masters through an on-line program. Completed her Masters and was hired by Caterpillar Corp and is working at the corporate headquarters in Dallas, TX. ZERO student loan debt. She is very intelligent and worked hard to maintain a high grade point average and that is how she got the scholarships, through hard work and perseverance. You don't need to go to an expensive university to get a good paying job with a promising future.

Nobody held a gun to anyone's head forcing them to take out student loans. If someone is too stupid to research the career fields that are hiring and take courses for that field, I have no sympathy for them.
Okay, so your answer is screw the 43 million Americans that have student loans?

And what do you think, will 43 million students defaulting on $2 Trillion dollars of government insured loans have any impact on the countries economy? That'll teach'em. Yeah. Right.

I agree it sucks we are here. But, what is the solution, or is it like everything else complained about here, no solution just complaints.
