billya Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Maybe I went to college so that I could use the correct form of their when talking about a child's parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I would rather use the incorrect form than put myself in debt learning the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 A mailer landed on my porch today, addressed to me, from "Malone" in Troy, NY. It contained 2 LP's and 2 7"s that I did not buy/trade/expect. I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 They put themselves and there parents in tremendous debt only to move back home or not be able to find a job. We are lied to at a young age that once you graduate you will be handed a 6 figure job. I am 31 and know people who complain about be in debt with a Liberal Arts degree. No. You are confused. It is the SYSTEM that puts us into debt and it is the ECONOMY that leaves us not able to find a job. Live in Canada or Europe and you can do exactly what we do here in the States, minus the "tremendous debt" and "[in]ability to find a job." Also, *their and *being.

jhook Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I am aware of my spelling errors. I am typing this on a smashed phone and watching the T.V. at the same time, my bad. All that I am saying is that I don't understand why someone would put themselves in debt only to enter a dead job market. Not everyone is going to make 100K a year.

I know I'm late to this so I apologize if I missed something but why would one ever assume that they'd make $100k right out of college?

jhook Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Why put yourself in debt to enter a job market where the salary is not going to come close to being able to pay your debt off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Why put yourself in debt to enter a job market where the salary is not going to come close to being able to pay your debt off?Okay, you've stated your point, but you're coming off as ignorant by making rash generalizations. I went to a four year college and came out with just over 20k in loans and within a couple years they are almost paid off entirely. Sure I'm not making six figures (yet) but I'm making a lot more than I would have just trying to get a job right out of high school. The system does end up screwing a lot of people over but works a lot of the time as well. It's really up to people to make intelligent and financially responsible decisions, which is what being an adult is about. But just because you didn't go to college doesn't mean no one else should either. turbobrando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I am not saying that no one should go to college. All I was saying is that I have no sympathy for someone who puts themself in debt and wants everyone else to feel bad for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 And I've already said that no one in this thread was asking for your sympathy, and judging by other's responses no cares if you do or do not feel bad for people who are in debt. I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I am sorry for stating my opinion on college loans during a conversation about college loans in the small talk thread. Thank you for being done. dreamwolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I can dig where you are coming from jhook...college really is a sort of scam in this country that is probably better at turning out alcoholics than educated citizens, but that is another discussion for another day.
