I've never met a poor doctor or lawyer or school teacher or any other folks who got into their chosen profession. Pay the damn loan...my kids did it...and they went to Syracuse and Clarkson. It's called....work...

And if you're not making money...you're lousy at what you do.

My Dad worked his way through university AND took care of his parents. I went to junior college and ended up a licensed contractor. My son joined the Army and my other son is a civilian employee at a navy base in water systems management.

Good article, except I don’t understand the phrase in the first paragraph, “due to the left canceling my legal career.”

While we are at it let’s cancel mortgages, rent, personal loans and credit card balances. Every day is Christmas!

I think she may be claiming she’s been canceled in regards to being a lawyer due to her conservative positions she takes in her articles. A weird way to say it. This is probably a very hot button issue she has yet to reconcile, IMHO.

To be fair, costs for college and university tuition have sky rocketed. Why? Pell Grants, student loans, FOREIGN student willingness to pay outrageous fees to get that Student Visa, AND the creation of all these worthless diversity and inclusion positions and departments throughout their hierarchy.

The tuitions at NATS from when I went and graduated (77-80) and now are outrageous, IMO. Especially since it’s a state institution.

Get rid of Federal Backed Student Loans, then change the bankruptcy law and let people discharge the student debt, ruins their credit for 7 years so not a totally free ride.

Prices for education would plummet and a number of schools would close.

“Student loan debt relief” does not address the underlying problem: students picking majors that do not prepare them for good paying jobs.

My solution: make student loans once again dischargable in bankruptcy, AND require colleges to co-sign student loans. When colleges are forced to take the hit, instead of taxpayers, then they will stop accepting students who do not belong in college, and will stop offering majors whose graduates have a high default rate.

Nobody put a gun to my head and forced me to take my student loans, after college I refinanced them and got a ridiculously low internet rate and paid them off is under 2 years by working hard and scrimping a bit.

Anyone thinking this is about ethics doesn’t understand politics. This is about vote buying. Canceling student loan debt buys tens of millions of votes.

“I think she may be claiming she’s been canceled in regards to being a lawyer due to her conservative positions she takes in her articles. “

It would help the reader if she’d say as much.

And, it might mean she’d have trouble getting hired at a big firm with many liberal clients, but there’s always “trusts and estates” and other “small time” areas of law which pay quite well in time.

The reason they give for not forgiving mortgages, personal loans or credit cards is because the federal government has control over student loans.

Fine. Then why not forgive those with SBA loans as well. Since they are "government controlled."
