Yep I just read up on it

2 years is insane man. Go for it. Well actually depending how much you're starting pay you could probably pay it off in 2 years if you live frugally


In STEM you can pay off $50k rapidly. In not STEM, probably not an option.

Is it unfair to those who already paid their student debts, or served in the military to get tuition paid for them?

Does cancelling student debt put a burden on the average American tax payer?

What about bankruptcy in America, even profitable corporations such as American Idol have filed for bankruptcy on millions of dollars of labor wages and stage equipment etc that they have the revenue to pay off but instead pay lawyers to make it disappear. Are these bankruptcies also a burden on the American tax payer?


...it would be far easier just to make colleges responsible for the loan interest.

although i know that's not quite how applications work

As someone with tens of thousands of student loan debt: Yes.


Should ask for one of the very successful lefties on this forum to wipe it out for you, after all they are all in favor of such things.

100%

Also, imagine paying for students who choose useless majors

Isnt there already enough useless majors?
Imagine how many more there will be


People who go into gender studies, sociology and psychology should be put in a large human size blender and turned into food for the masses so that they provide some value to society

You're already paying for it. With an income-driven plan, I can essentially just not work for 20 years and then the full balance will be discharged.

Thank you for your contribution.

Social work, personal counseling, marriage & family therapy are better than any of the other three. MSWs practice at the same level as PsyDs and it is a lot less expensive. The only difference is psychometrics which is niche.

A lot of my friends were going to become psychologists and were told to get a social work degree so you can work in 5 years instead of 10.
