People always told me, " you want to have a college education!" or "you won't go anywhere without a college degree" HAHA! Looks like I'm not going anywhere with one either!
So I was one of those people who went to college, not an expensive one, but not a community college (not saying ANYTHING againt CC's!). I worked while I was in college, applied and got grants. But still I end up with more debt than the average American has sunk in their Cadillacs. And my hubby, well, HA he's got more than a house would cost!
Do the loan companies make it easy to repay these, and work with you, even though I don't have a job that could pay them all back with 3 years of salary? No, they make it insanly difficult. Their customer service representatives are in India, which makes the whole speaking English thing pretty difficult.
Well, now I'm wondering why in the world I went to college in the first place? I'm not using my degree becuase I can't find a teaching job (not that a teaching job salary would pay for my loans anyway) And I could be doing the same thing I'm doing making about the same without a college education.
So I find myself asking why exactly did I go to college?

I went to a CC too for the first two years... my parents said they would pay for that if I went to one. I lived at home, worked full-time to try to save money. I still had to take put loans for my BA, and I owe quite a bit, too. I am on the 20 year payment plan with direct loans. It stinks and if I hadn't gotten a teaching job we would be having a hard time paying it every month... I probably still would have gone to school had I known, but would have been trying to pay as I went. It does stink, though.
