Am I the only one that feels like we should have our student loans forgiven? (And I used to be adamantly opposed to ANY student loan forgiveness)
Our salaries continue to DECREASE as cost of living increases (not just “no raises”…decrease!…I realize I’m preaching to the choir haha). I can barely (and by “barely” I mean “can’t” TBH) make bills, pay for kids activities, etc (also a single mom of 3, for more context) LET ALONE pay my loans…
How do we start that movement?…
Who’s with me?! 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

i really don’t understand many pharmacists refuse to consider this option!! especially since our profession has been hijacked by non pharmacists owners in retail!!

I paid off $100k over ten years. No vacations, no nice cars, barely got by. Now I'm paying into Social Security that won't be there when I turn 65, 70 or 75 (who knows what age it will be). I've already paid my share of Social Security and Medicare to qualify for my wife and I, now every paycheck goes towards paying for others who don't earn. Higher education tuition will increase every year if the loans are guaranteed by the government. By paying these off for people, future college students and their families are less likely to care about price increases because they'll be expecting a bail out down the road. That never blows up in anybody's face!

the prices do not correlate with earned income!! salaries are stagnant. look up average salaries in the eighties vs average tuition and financial aid packages (pre Reagan era)
higher education isn’t just for the wealthy.

Although my loans are long paid off, I think if anyone should get loan forgiveness, it’s healthcare workers. We never shut down, and the vast majority did not get to work from home. (I thought I was lucky that I got to work from home part of the time because I was in LTC, but I got laid off last April and am still looking for full time non-retail work)
