History is a hobby. Get a degree that prepares you for a job. Stop whining. You are not the first graduate to have trouble finding a job. Nor are you the first person to be in debt. Just face it. You made some bad decisions. Now, get your act together and make something of yourself so we don’t have to pay any more of your bills.

There’s no question that this is a step forward. But we’re still talking pennies and nickels when we need to completely revolutionize the government’s role in financing post-secondary education.

Waaaah! Maybe if you had a few econ classes you would have learned about the distorting effects government subsidies have on markets. To summarize, Uncle Sucker subsidizing so much of college education allows the price on it for everyone to rise.

Only place that pays for a history degree is the military and they have help pay your college loans.

What did he expect to make with a history degree?

Just add a degree in Library Science which really isn’t too far off from your history studies.
Heard a lot about book worms that need advice.
The best thing however, you continue on in your favorite subject, earn a Masters, then a Doctorate, then go and turn into a Professor that teaches aspiring students the goods about history.
You then completed a full circle with income and job security.

>> I am 24, live with my parents, can’t find work and am floundering in a sea of debt five figures high.

Ken, glad to see you made it through Complaining 101, 201, and 301. You’re very good at it. Get a job in a journalism.

...equipped with a degree in history and $32,000 in student loans.

Paid more than that for one of my cars, and I wrote a check for it. You should have gotten an engineering degree. But, had you done that, you wouldn't know all about how the evil capitalists in the United States are racists and thwarted marxist socialism utopia. Well, go eat crap, you pathetic pink-o.

Unfortunately, the recent passage of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act doesn’t portend that times are a-changin’. The act reduces interest rates on Stafford Loans and increases Pell Grant awards. Whoopty-do.

There’s no question that this is a step forward. But we’re still talking pennies and nickels when we need to completely revolutionize the government’s role in financing post-secondary education.

So you want more of MY tax money to help you pay for an education which has failed to prevent you from becoming a whiny basement-dwelling f#$ktard? lol, you fail at LIFE. I'll send you a razor blade if you promise to use it on your wrists and become an hero. Remember, down the road, not across the street.

  soon I must leave home to find work that doesn’t compromise my integrity

Yeah, it'd be a real shame to have to do an honest day's labor for an honest day's pay.

Forget trying to improve your country, or yourself. You’ve got bills to pay, young man.

That's a relief, the last thing we need are more socialist do-gooders, I love it when a liberal is mugged by reality. Why couldn't he go to a cheap junior college to begin with? Why did he need to spen $30,000+ to get a degree at Dummy U. ?

“Would you like fries with that?”

Suddenly, living at home didn’t seem nearly as degrading as selling out.

Getting a job is "selling out"?

That’s why you go into community college and work on the weekends and the busy season you little wuss.

btw is there any demand for people with bussiness management skills? If there isn’t I’d better switch my major quick.
