I may not have been a financial wizard as a kid, but I managed to figure out going to a private school for a liberal arts degree probably is a bad damn idea. She took out almost $100,000 in student loans to go to a private school. It's hard to have a lot of sympathy for that, when she could have gone to an inexpensive state school for considerably less money. The fact that her first job paid $20,000/year is telling. At one point she says "what should I do, transfer to a public school" and the answer is holy hell, yes you should. She didn't. I don't think my position is justifying predatory lenders, because it doesn't. But she has to share in the responsibility to a great degree, because she made a decision to go into insane amounts of debt to stay in private school.
