I made those very points to her but at 18 I don't quite think she understands it all.
I look at the whole thing as almost a conspiracy to get these kids to take out loans.
I am trying to counsel her to go to the local college here in Little Rock, maybe take a light load and for her to get a job to see how she fares and if college is the right thing for her.
I really don't want her to saddle herself with these type of loans. Just have to get through to her on some level.

Student Loan Horror Stories

I have three nephews buried in student loans, all in their early twenties. My sister evidently encouraged them to do it. I don't get it.

Nothing wrong with LRU (I don’t know its’ new name, we called it Last Resort U), I know many grads from there, who are now bankers, accountants and lawyers in Little Rock. One of my good friends went there while working at Worthern bank and was National Guard, he is now a successful businessman in Little Rock.

There were no student loans, when I went to school, but everybody I knew who wanted a college degree found a way to get it. It might have taken them seven or more years, but they did it.

My brothers’ children were lucky, their parents could afford to pay all bills, but everyone of them, graduated in three years to help hold down the costs.
