The Trump administration will start garnishing the wages of student loan borrowers in default in early January, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Education confirmed to CNBC on Tuesday.

More than 5 million student loan borrowers are currently in default, and that total could swell to roughly 10 million borrowers soon, the Education Department said earlier this year.

Work two jobs and live at hime and anything else. The average person can probably pay down a $300,000 loan in about 5 years if they do that

“seizing pay” Holy sensationalized headline batman! It’s called a garnishment. It’s done thousands of times a day to people both with and without student loans.

The entire College Industrial Complex needs to be downsized and reformed. It mostly churns out dumb leftists, foreigners, spies and debt slaves.

Getting government out completely would be a good start.

Go back to educating smart, mostly STEM type kids who can afford it, or manage to pay their own way.

Loans are not free money

Jobs are not guaranteed

Its why colleges don’t market it that way

Maybe these people should start their own colleges, its a great racket...

I had only $20K in debt when I finished college, so I paid if off without working two jobs. But I worked full time in a hot warehouse and used my two off days to attend college (usually Tuesdays and Thursdays) and took 8 years to get a BS in CS.

Not everybody can handle the workload that you probably handled when you went to school. There are some people have the discipline to do that. I was not, but I find that I can handle the lifestyle of two jobs with very little difficulty.

However, even if you are not that student, it is OK to just focus on school and build up debt, but you better be prepared to work two jobs to repair your situation when you are done school.
