Comment Student loans may not be the best way to go. (Score 1) 1797
We did not have as easy access to student loans as folks do now. Had to work my way through. Of course, not being a minority there was no one trying to give me any money either. Just Sayin if you are a healthy Caucasian male in America you should damn well be able to make it without a helping hand and I did.
I could believe that easy access to loans would tend to drive up enrollment numbers and also the price of school. Used to work for them admins in the college. Believe me they are very interested in raising fees and tuition as much as possible.
I say screw em, take away the loans and let the kids work for a living. If it takes you 6-7 years to get a 4 year degree because you had to earn the money then pay the school then be allowed to attend classes then graduate, you'll have less students but the ones you do end up with will be serious about graduating.
I hear Alabama is looking for some labor right about now.
Now get off my lawn.
