Yeah my wife was planning on doing this with her student loan for her social work degree and I just refinanced it all to a five year loan so we could get rid of it.
I don’t know how people manage to spend $50k getting a degree in social work. Something is wrong with the system that that is allowed to happen.
- scaryspooky 9y agoWhy blame 'the system' instead of your wife, though? It was her choice to pursue a degree at such costs.
- AdmiralAsshat 9y agoThis is alot like blaming the patient for getting addicted to opioids. This nation indoctrinates the youth into believing that they are worthless bums if they don't go to college. So when they walk into the door, barely an "adult" by any stretch of the word, we put a piece of paper in front of them and say, "Sign this, or you will never get the degree you need, never get the job you need, and die cold and lonely." So they sign that paper, unaware that the loan they incurred at the beginning of their adult life will follow them for the rest of their lives. And if the degree fails to bring in the job they were promised, tough luck. And if the Department of Education decides not to forgive their student loans after years of service to a government job or non profit, them's the brakes.
