Mr. History major guy needs to man up and pay it down.
OK, I went ahead and read the article...I guess he did pay the loan off after all. But now it’s time to get a real job and a real house.
So you didn’t read the story?
He moved to AK for two years and paid it off.
Yeah, $32,000 in student loans is relatively small, compared to the debt that some students are carrying. I remember reading about a young woman who earned a BA in Sociology at Boston University, and financed her education with student loans. After four years at that school, her student loan debt was $200,000.
The good news is that emerging market forces will begin to lower tuition costs—for students willing to look for affordable programs. One case-in-point is the $7,000 M.S. in Computer Science that Georgia Tech will begin offering later this year, in conjunction with AT&T and other partners. Texas also has several bachelor’s programs (offered through state schools) that leverage community college credits. Students in those programs can earn their bachelor’s for $10,000.
You apparently did not read the article...he paid it off, every last stinkin’ dime. And he was not employed in any kind of a high paying job, like you probably are.
