Some of us repaid our loans. And we were darned happy to have revived them, too, considering we had no incomes then.
Paid for it all....

Exactly. I’m one of those. Came from a large family with only a one parent household income. I was the oldest of 6 kids. No money for college. I worked construction during the summers and took student loans in order to get a Mechanical Engineering degree. Lived on $5/week for the 4 years at school. When I finally graduated, I had over $15,000 in loans to repay but managed to snag a pretty good entry-level engineering position with a large construction company. $15K was a huge sum back in 1973. Within 5 years, I had em all paid off and was more than thankful for the loans.
