Comments on: Student Loan Debt http://www.debtfreehispanic.com/student-loan-debt.html Personal Finance Tips and Lessons Learned About Loans, Credit Cards, and The Freedom To Be Wealthy Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:18:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: jennifer@befrugal http://www.debtfreehispanic.com/student-loan-debt.html/comment-page-1#comment-7399 jennifer@befrugal Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:08:09 +0000 http://www.debtfreehispanic.com/?p=826#comment-7399 @David, it killed me while in school to hear about people who'd take out 30k a year to be an art history major. There's so many people like that! Not all of us were lucky enough to have a mom like mine who told my brothers and I to figure out what we love to do but be sure to learn a skill in that field you love so much. A brother of mine loves music, he's sound tech, another one loved trains so he became a transportation planner and so on. All of us held full time jobs while in college to come out with a manageable amount of debt since college was out of our own pockets! It's hard work but totally do-able. @David, it killed me while in school to hear about people who’d take out 30k a year to be an art history major. There’s so many people like that!

Many people I know personally are in debt with student loans to the tune of 65k up to 85k. One thing they all have in common: They have their respective degrees but they certainly aren't making the INCOME that they desired when they set out to get the degree. One such person I know, took out MORE loans to CONTINUE going to school, because he couldn't afford to START paying back his student loans. Thus, he is deferring his debt until much much later, when it will almost be impossible to pay back. The woman in this article is not a rare occurrence either.
