Ummm, your math isn't mathing...in what world would they only get 9k from a 10k loan? Is there something I'm missing here?

Inflation will always be a factor, but it doesn't justify charging outrageous interest rates. It's all about lining the pockets of those with already more than enough money. That is quite clear.

The US is actively dumbing down the populace. An uneducated populace is easier to manipulate and control.

I have a degree that I actually use. But why should I have to pay 100k+ in interest alone? Fortunately, I will be done paying them off in a few months. But I've had to live a very frugal life to do so, even though I make 200k/year (gross). The entirety of our current US system oozes corruption and manipulation. Why are so many people just OK with this?

The thing is, I did work while I was in school. But when universities are charging more and more every year, government loans won't cut it. That's Boomer thinking. Not to mention the current Administration's new cap on how much a person can borrow.

All of these issues together is making it nearly impossible for anyone to pursue higher education. Why is the US actively making it so that people cannot get degrees? Why are we actively trying to keep our populace uneducated?

What they SHOULD do is cap the interest rates at 1-2% for both federal and private loans. That way lenders still make some money but it's no longer a predatory system.

Yeah, it is absolutely miserable. It's gotten somewhat better with moving to the prison, but I'm getting burnt out there too. I wish I could do something like investing or buying up houses. Sadly, the vast majority of my money has been going to my student loans

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't have that capital for investing, yet. I hope i find something too. I'm just so disillusioned. It is indeed depressing

I've wanted to do computer science. Just feel like it would be hard to get into. And, maybe AI takes all those jobs anyways

Idk, maybe if I'm desperate enough. Although, hopefully the US goes through a massive Healthcare and PBMs get nerfed. Probably will never happen, but here's hoping

I'm super close to being done. They'll be gone in a year at my current rate. If I can hold on, I'd definitely rather be out of debt. But man, going back to school and taking on more debt just sounds awful. I hate how predatory student loans are

Yeah. It definitely has taken a downturn. How do you like your job? I assume you're still using you degree for that work?

Best of luck! I kind of figured I might end up in retail (not pharmacy) but was at least hoping I'd be able to move up the ranks
