Hell, no! I paid mine off on time. I took on the debt and the responsibility for it, and I satisfied that obligation.
“Hell, no! “
Ditto! They borrowed it, promised to pay it back and should.
Maybe some people should look for a job instead of spending years in college partying. Now they expect to have their loans forgiven. NO WAY!
And not only that, they expect to start out making fortunes instead of what the market will allow. Maybe they should have figured out before now that they aren’t worth nearly as much as they think.
I started working full time when I was 17, AND went to school, got a full time job after I graduated along with another part time job. I love to work, always have.
We own businesses and I never ask anyone to do something I’m not willing to do. We have had our same employees for years. Good luck finding good employees these days, laziest bunch of people I have ever seen.
I went by Home Depot after work and saw employees leaning over the checkout talking about how little their paychecks were while hundreds of plants are dying from no water. Makes my head hurt!
Ditto!
Of course when I graduated (dark ages!), the amount I owed was a lot smaller than the typical student loan balance is today. But then again, so was the salary for my brand new job. The government has been "inflating" the currency for so long it's easy to forget there was a time when a thousand a month was a damn fine wage (new car under $2000, a house in the suburbs around $30,000)...
As the Red Queen said to Alice, "Sometimes you must run very very fast just to stay in one place!"

X2, I wish they would have had a "Hell No I paid mine" option.
