Who to blame then? Your parents and other adult advisers? Your college? The government?
I do agree that parents/teachers/principals etc bear some responsibility, but surely so too does the individual student, no?
- freehunter 7y ago>so too does the individual student, no? You mean the child? Following the advice of their parents and mentors?
- xibalba 7y agoYes, the 18-22 year old "child". Otherwise known as an adult.
- freehunter 7y agoPeople are usually 15/16/17 when they start applying to universities and applying for loans. You know, children.
- xibalba 7y agoApplying for college, yes. Applying for loans at 15? No. In the U.S., loans are generally applied for on an annual basis and disbursed on a semester basis. So once again, we return to these people being 18-22 (adults). My actual point was that yes, parents/teachers/principals/other adult advisers do bear some responsibility, but let's also not pretend the actual students are unable to reason about future income and debt.
