Do yourself a favor though and don’t get any student loans. You’ll be setting yourself up for a future of pain.
- tomatowurst 4y agoContrarian advice: This is the best time to take on student loans. We are entering a structural shift in how our global economy fueled by a credit bubble post 08. It is going to be much much worse than 2008 and 2000, combined. They are not going to be able to collect student loans for a very long time.

- UncleEntity 4y agoThat’s really bad advice unless you’re going into a field where you can’t possibly ever pay it back. My sister wouldn’t be a pharmacist without student loans and she is about as far from living in pain as someone can get.

This is really bad advice if a degree doesn't increase your salary enough to offset the cost. >My sister wouldn’t be a pharmacist without student loans She would if the degree didn't cost out of pocket in the first place.
- UncleEntity 4y agoThis is your advice for the first person on my mom’s side of the family to graduate from college, “don’t follow your dreams because education should be free”? That’s how they keep the dirty okies who moved to California during the dust bowl (aka my grandparents) as second class citizens. My parents sacrificed a lot to send her to college. I mean, a lot.
