I’d also say that going back to school is a good way to update your life
and change your profession. I’m a firm believer in getting government
student loans and using them to go to school. They’re cheap, low
interest, and the US government is usually very nice about letting you
pay them back. I’m not so sure about other places around the world
though.

- nightski 15y agoNotice how he says government loans. That I agree with. The private loan system is another beast altogether, one I am dealing with personally. Fortunately with our profession it is not hard to pay off loans.
- zedshaw 15y agoYes, government loans. I wouldn't have been able to go to school if it weren't for the government loans I could get. I was poor, and school was damn expensive no matter where I went. Without the government handing me dirt cheap loans and letting me pay them off practically indefinitely I'd be much worse off. Now, banks and private loan companies can go to hell.
