Hi everyone,

What advice would you give a HS senior in US about to decide on and/or enter college ?

yes you should go to college. There are more opportunities when you are a degree holder.

Yeah i know that but Americans gaining a loan in college is big problem Sad Sad

I'm not lucky

I would advise against taking student loans given the current situation... if that means you don't go to college so be it... employers are more impressed with a good interview than a piece of paper anyway (personal experience)

Betsy Devos just erased 2 HUGE rules that Obama administration put in place to protect students

One of the things she removed was student loan forgiveness... There "was" a law stating if a person spent 10 years in a public service job, like a teacher, and paid their loans the entire 10 years... the rest would be forgiven (not much left after 10 years paying anyway)... but this is now gone... some people already spent the whole 10 years as a teacher and now get fucked

And, she's only been there for 2 months... more pro-bank anti-student legislation is coming

Do NOT get student loans... trust me on this, I have student loans from 10+ years ago... and they have been charging me more than twice the interest rate I agreed to... the government does not give a single fuck about you... do not trust them... they will change the rules AFTER you take the loans... and buttfuck you because there is NO WAY to get rid of student loan debt

If you want a good job, and save yourself 4 years of school... find a place you want to work, find a manager, talk to him/her... act like you REALLY want to work HERE... make them think this is your dream job... ask them what training you would need to prepare... spend a few months taking free online courses, then go back and get your job
