Is there some reason she can’t relocate to a more affordable place where she might work full time? It seems self-defeating and frankly insane to keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. Just sayin’ yo.

Making matters worse, to pay for her master’s degree, James-Penny borrowed more than $140,000 and her monthly student loan payments top $400.Life is tough. It’s even tougher when you’re stupid.

Honestly, it sounds like what she teaches is a ninth grade essay-writing course. And no offense to any SJSU grads here, but this isn’t Stanford or Cal-Berkeley.

From the linked article:
“One thing about California, we have a union and it is the best union,” says James-Penny.
“But I still don’t have a place to live.”
How good could this union be, anyway? You're $140K in debt and making less than $30K/year while trying to live in a horrendously expensive area. You're sharing your Volvo living quarters with a dog. Frankly...it sounds like this union, which you seem to think is "the best," has pushed you down on the playground of life, ground your face into the mud, and is now sitting on the teeter-totter eating the sack lunch it stole from you. And you appear to completely oblivious to this reality.

28K used to buy a house outright, no loan scam. It could buy 4 new cars outright.
Government paychecks flood the system and drown paper currency value.

Thank you. Saved me the search time.

Obviously she needs to look for a different job.
