Students in America should study relevant skills then and enroll into colleges they can afford. If you learn to play flute at Harvard and then whine about not getting a job, that’s your problem.

Who should pay then? It’s not the bank’s fault that you can’t get a job is it?

Does this also mean that I can borrow a large sum to start a business, and if that's business doesn't take my creditors are on the hook to pay off my loan?

Personal responsibility is severely lacking in this post.

hi

What was your field of study?

There are plenty of really good in state community colleges that cost a fraction of what a university costs. Some states, like MA, even have programs to get an associate degree for free if you are a resident. I’ve often found the professors at community colleges tend to be better as well since many of them are there for the love of teaching since the positions don’t pay well. I also attended a $55k per year college and many of the professors had that “don’t care” type attitude.

If you forgo these opportunities and take out massive loans to attend expensive schools, it’s on you to make sure you can pay it back. No one forced you to attend an expensive college.

If we really want to get into the weeds, I could also mention that many trade schools have cheap tuition and jobs in hvac, plumbing, electrical, etc are in high demand and pay extremely well.

How much have you in student loans?

I have a BA in information tech, but it's been challenging to find a well-paying job. Most companies try to offer me less, presenting lowball offers with a smile. my loans are about 45k
