I don't know who's more retarded, my mom or me for listening to her in the first place

How the fuck did you get 100k in debt studying engineering?

Thats over $3,000 a fucking course.

You barely scratch that studying medicine.

It sounds like you were an idiot and went to a very expensive school when you had no real means of affording it.

You gave her access to all of your school accounts? Did she register for classes for you as well?

Don't worry. You won't even get a job, so you can just file for the program that sets your loan payments to $0 since you don't make any money.

I already have offers for graduation for ~85k
I'd be happy about that if it weren't all going into my debt

Wowowow dude. You don't understand how student loans work, do you? First of all, the student loan people don't pay the school directly, they just dump like $25,000 into your account each year and you (or your mom I guess) are supposed to pay the school and if there's money left over you spend it on weed or go ahead and pay it back to the debt company to lower the principle.

Your mom probably just pocketed all the money that was in excess of tuition. You should ask to see a detailed breakdown of how she spent that money.

I wanted to go to a community college for two years, and then transfer to a state school for the final two. My friend did that, and he's doing just fine after graduation
