It still boggles my mind why anyone is stupid and naive enough to take out predatory student loans today especially with the kind of economic despair that currently exists. It is far more likely you will end up flipping burgers or stocking warehouse inventory in the modern economy than have a cushy desk job with good pay. Those years are long over. Plus once you get into that debt the predatory lenders don't allow students to default or file bankruptcy protections, you are on the hook for that debt plus interest for life. Completely not worth it. When will the youth of this country start thinking for themselves?
