It's interesting to me that the people highlighted in the article are creative enough to do things to avoid repaying their student loans but aren't creative enough to turn their education into a higher paying job. It strikes me as misdirected energy. The heart of the article is the debt of student loans are getting so great that more people are taking drastic measures to avoid repayment. The article I wish I had read was how some people aren't entrepreneurial enough to turn their college education into cash. More people should learn how to negotiate their employment lives better. I renegotiated my salary immediately after graduating because (A) I knew the market values college grads higher and (B) I wanted to try to raise my pay just to see what happened. Why don't others see their degree as a bargaining chip to be played when negotiating? Why aren't some people willing to employ riskier plays? "I couldn't believe I couldn't find a job in America." -- Albright, from article Creativity and entrepreneurial spirit is especially needed for people who get degrees that don't have obvious market potential. For example, some people say a history degree isn't worth much However; entrepreneurial individuals with history degrees have gone on to make a great living making educational content for online media. The job didn't exist so the individual created it. Sure, it's a risky proposition for the individual but they're already playing risky from a market potential standpoint. I feel like Albright from the article could have used this framing to his benefit; but instead, he fled his debts.
