Seems like those sorts of situations are well into the territory of "if you owe the bank $1,000,000,000 then the bank has a problem"
- andrewvc 5y agoNope, guaranteed by the government and not dischargable in bankruptcy!
- ketzo 5y agoI think "the bank with a problem" is the government, in this case.
- core-utility 5y agoExactly, in a market where the government doesn't guarantee these loans, students would have to negotiate loans with banks who would be very invested in the ability to pay back the loan after graduation. A cook (in this example) would be very unlikely to pay back a $250,000 loan, and no bank would fund that.
