Jesus christ. Poor americucks. In the uk you don't even pay student loans until you make £30k a year and even then it's only £20 a month. It gets written off after 30 years.

Its sort of similar here in canada except we basically just get charged no interest on the federal and provincial student loans (I think its like 0.5% or something). And the same orthodontist degree here would probably cost like $100-200k in total (not including living expenses obviously), so its actually feasible to pay it back in a reasonable amount of time if you're making $200k/yr~. I think we can also get them forgiven by declaring bankruptcy, where I dont think sallie mae loans in the US are forgivable.

Student loan debt is near impossible to get rid through bankruptcy. The only way you can get rid of student loan debt is if you are physically unable to work and can't realistically get a job in your field to pay it back.

Doctors in general are way too overvalued and don't really need anywhere near that much funding / grad school. COVID-19 hysteria would have been a non-issue if we just required the same level of education and training any other trade has like plumbing or HVAC.
The idea doctors need to be this special scarce class of super-geniuses doesn't really benefit anyone except maybe the lenders financially and the doctors emotionally.

Most of the universities that opened post-WW2 and onward would shut down if they stopped the government subsidies. They are already barely financially solvent. Corporations are also complicit because they normalized college degrees as a basic employment requirement. If you end the subsidies, the "education-industrial complex" will collapse (the full vertical from textbook and software rackets to admin staff to construction), and many millions of people will be unemployable for the time it takes corporate America to stop demanding degrees.

I don't know when you finished school, but tuition is STILL skyrocketing even in recent years. Last class I took was 2000 dollars for one single class. This was for an online class with in state tuition at NAU.

Most of it is probably living expenses though. They live off of loans, going to an on campus dorm, then when you live at the dorms, they FORCE you to buy meal plans, even if you can pay for your own food cheaper they charge a huge lump sum on top of your fees for a years worth of meal tickets. Non refundable if you drop out. (they aren't even refunding for the college campuses that are kicking out students because of covid, if you're lucky they'll comp you for future meals once you are back on campus). Some dumbasses will put all of their living expenses on student loans as well. All living expenses for the four years.

That being said, there's also the EVEN BIGGER DUMBASSES who go to a huge expensive private art school out of state and live on those dorms. Their dream was to become an artist, so they flew to new york the city of dreams and a single semester will put you back like 150k

Oh and for this part, people don't do the research. People that put themselves in debt and don't do the research for job market outlook are stupid. But otherwise even in markets with decent outlooks the market can become saturated.

I'm an xray tech, they said market outlook was great and demand for jobs was growing during my first year orientation.

You shouldn't be spending a single dime on eating out "BUT MAN I'M YOUNG, IT'S ONLY 15 DOLLARS FOR THAT LUNCH, YOLO!" Think of the opportunity cost of that 15 dollars when it's 15 dollars now being charged interest. Then compare that to money you COULD have made if you invested it instead.
No more fucking new video games, or netflix, or unlimited cell phone data so you can stream your spotify, or going to the movies. Plenty of free entertainment is available, you can do that for ONE YEAR to save every penny. Even if you don't have it paid off in a year, at least you should have the interest down to manageable levels.
The only other expenses you should have is mandatory living expenses and transportation to your job. Get overtime if you can

50k is chump change unless you're a third worlder or you have the mentality of a welfare queen. 200k is not chump change which is what this can balloon to if you are weak willed about it.

I finished 2 engineering majors in May 2020, in commiefornia. It took a couple of months to find a job, but debt payments didn't start until December 2020, so I wasn't too worried. The interest I had to pay was around $300 from the $21k.
Well, I get it now. I'm a first gen graduate, so I took all the money I was offered on my first year. It was a lot, ngl but for the following years I just took enough to cover classes and rent(paid an small studio apt for myself).

can't declare bankruptcy on student loans in the us. kids take out loans because parent's don't think about financials/educate them about it because they were entitled boomers who rode the easy life and think they will get through it by pulling themselves by their bootstraps. also, giving into little timmy's dream school delusions that will leave him $150k in debt. majority of jobs requiring a bachelor degree, additionally job market is in the shitter right now because of pandemic. there's a lot of uncertainty in this investment.

Makes my blood boil. I made 62k this year. I pay 350 for rent. I live like a peasant, almost no money goes towards extraneous expenses. Literally eat beans/rice/eggs/lentils for most of my meals. I still can barely get enough saved for a house. These fucking whiny boomers wanting to "retire with dignity." To the ones with no money left after growing up in boomer years, your only dignity left would be to give yourself the pillow so you aren't living off your retirement years being leeches. If I were in your shoes, I'd have enough money to buy my own island.

You must have gotten massive grants/scholarships, right? Or are you talking 6 years getting AS degrees by chance? Or were you paying for some of tuition out of pocket that yo uare not telling us about? 21K will be about 2 years at most in state universities.

I got around 15k in scholarships. I always got enough money to pay for classes, and rent. Then I just slaved my ass to work during the school breaks, so I would save up to $5k every year.
A few semesters I lived off the free food from minimarkets on the school, so that helped a lot heh

And no, I didn't do AS bullshit. Community Colleges are as greedy as other universities, with the only difference that they don't give actual degrees, and you're fucked twice if you need to attend university after community college. I say it because it's something I saw way too often.

I have no idea what gives you this impression of community college. People that go straight to university for their gen ed classes are fucking retards, paying 4-6 times for the same credits. There are good paying jobs that don't need bachelors, so if you are interested inthose jobs, ever touching a university is throwing money away. Most classes other than really specialized ones should transfer easily, so I also don't know what you mean by "you're fucked twice if you need to go to university" every single person that likes money should always do at least some community college for the all of the prereqs that they can

I also forgot to mention, that in general I don't think community colleges are nearly as greedy as universities. Maybe I got lucky with the 2 I went to, but the teachers genuniely seemed like they cared for the most part and had smaller class sizes, meanwhile universities have 200 students jam packed into an auditorium as the teacher just reads off of a powerpoint for 90 minutes. Community colleges always had great resources available like free tutoring, while universities pracitcally charge you to use the restroom nowadays, or they'll FORCE you to pay gym fees even if you never use their on campus gym for example. I also felt like I learned more at community colleges, but that could also be just because the classes are generally easier. I had terrible experiences with student advisors, they were always lost and could never get me registered correctly at universities, even signing me up for multiple classes I didn't need. Community college advisors had their shit together.

In American high schools you are constantly bombarded with shit saying YOU HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE!!!!
Even if you don't know what you want to do they insist that you have to go right away.
Then the college is just more high school bullshit that doesn't teach you anything practical for the field you're studying.
They also try to stretch out every degree to be "4 years" but it really takes 5 years to get through all the bullshit elective requirements.

The parents and schools share far more of the blame. You're not going to find too many 17/18 year old kids that are experienced enough to realize college isn't the only route to be successful or that understand all the terms of service required out of a student loan. Boomers swallowed the college meme harder than anyone and the schools benefit by having kids in a perpetual educational loop, feeding the system.

Only reason education costs are so high is because of guaranteed federal student loans. This wasn’t an issue when we had an actual free market.
