For any young Freeper Americans struggling to pay off their student loans in the US in US Dollars, I would encourage them to come to Japan, work like hell (maybe at an English school and then some on the side on Saturday’s and Sunday), get paid in Yen of course, and then pay off one’s student loan in probably 1/3rd the time it would take to do it solely in the US on the US Dollar-based economy and currently IN the US economy. Yes.
do you know of any such places?
My nephew, a George Washington University grad w/ $120,000 in student debt, is teaching English in Japan for a 3-year hitch and will be debt free by the end. Smart kid. And the Japanese girls treat him like Adonis. Will he come back? We’ll see!
