My boss’s daughter got a PhD in Engineering for free.

In the engineering and science world, employers are often very happy to pay for employees' (relevant) graduate degrees.

She makes 6 figures!!!
The range is $99,000 to a high of $158,000 with the median at $127,000+ She can easily pay the debt! She is very stupid to run up a debt of $240,000 !

She can pay it all back in 5 years if she wanted to.

She is a principal in Los Angeles. Search on: ‘principal salary in los angeles’

She claims victimhood when she ran up the debt. Plus she can pay it off.

Agree! Go after the colleges!

I volunteered as scholarship director for over 20 years for a non profit. We advertised scholarships of $2K and would receive few applicants. Raised to $5K and even at that, few applicants. I believe the organisation is offering more now. Students are too lazy to fill out the application, write an essay, line up recommendations and send transcripts. The scholarship has to be $10K or more to attract their attention! I would have welcomed this opportunity at the $2K when I was a student.

I got an Accounting degree thanks to my employer

Not surprising.

I’d be surprised if someone got a degree in Minority Grievance Studies paid for by an employer.

-——Single Mother——

To be a single mother is a self imposed tragic condition.

Anyone racking up loans like that for nothing is no scholar and those loans were a waste of 240K. What did you really spend that money on lady? Livin’ large I would guess.

Heck with you woman.

How much does a principal in the LA school system make?

How much does a principal in the LA school system make?

I'd guess close to 6 figures.

Richelle retains her African roots that disallow functioning as an assimilated American

Being unassimilated is in fact enslavement by her African values that take a village

"she's fighting for full cancellation to live her American Dream 'freely."

And screw those lowly dogs who have to pay her debt.. (spit)

[AppyPappy]

They paid for anything but the satellite campus where we studied only offered business.

"...One of Richelle Brooks' dreams is to send her two children to college without taking out any loans. She knows firsthand how taking out a loan to pursue higher education can amount to crippling debt.

"My daughter wants to be an anesthesiologist. My son wants to be a computer engineer. Two little Black kids want this for their future," Brooks, 35, told Insider. "And this country is telling me it's impossible for me to get them there. It's a terrible, hopeless feeling."..."

I want a pony. And an F-14. And Malibu oceanfront property.

And a Pony. Did I already say I wanted a Pony?
