program on Thursday, declaring it unlawful. The decision has left me sad and frustrated, even though I’ve paid off all my college debt.
I didn’t think I could say no to any of these things, even the ones that didn’t pay. I needed those to boost my resume to get a good job after graduation. Then I’d never have to live like this again. There’s no feeling more alarming than logging on to Nelnet three weeks into the semester and seeing that I’d already accrued interest.
Was it worth it? Maybe. The system I used was broken, but it seemed smarter than signing on for additional loans at the time. When friends, family and professors found out about my three-job system, I tried to joke it off — “What’s a little hard work?Their concern said everything I wouldn’t admit: that this system was unsustainable, that I was a half-step from burnout and that if I didn’t take a nap, I just might fall asleep driving home.
THINK I don't understand why anyone believed this was anything other than an election scam. It never was going to make it past the courts.
THINK I’m so confused my interest rate on my student loans is 1.5% that’s basically nothing. What are other peoples interest rates? Did I just start school at a good time or something?
THINK How about we go after the problem instead of using tax payers money. Go after the predators. Go after the colleges that have billions in endowment.
