(Anonymous) 2012-06-09 02:01 am (UTC)(link)And it's not just the parents. There is an incredible pressure in High School to go to college and study a career, any career.
A classmate of mine said that she actually wanted to settle down, marry and have children, and boy, was she booed for it.
They make it sound like it's either college or failure, and, while it's totally okay to encourage students to do their best, there is such a thing as forcing them down a path that might or might not be for them.
And finding out how much money those schools receive to promote a specific college... that left a bad, bad taste in my mouth.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-09 09:52 am (UTC)(link)Exactly... though in my case it was mostly my parents. Granted I have a disability so they probably felt like it was even more imperative to prove that I could succeed in anything I wanted. Which is a worthy goal, but not at the expense of my financial future.
Honestly knowing what I know now I definitely would have fought my parents harder about NOT going to college. At least not right away. Instead I would have worked harder to find a job that was relatively decent - maybe some office work instead of retail. And taken a few college courses at night or something to work towards a degree if I really wanted too - but first I would have figured out EXACTLY what I wanted a degree in instead of wasting 4 years without knowing what degree I wanted and then having to take an extra year just to finish because the college kept insisting that it was okay to "take your time to figure it out" - no it really wasn't...
80,000 in debt that I'll probably never be able to pay off since the maximum I can afford right now for payments is about $300 less than what the interest costs each month is not worth having a college degree.

Are you on income based repayment? (asking this because I've gathered that there's surprisingly many people who qualify for it but don't use it.)
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-06-10 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)That's what I'm on actually and I can afford the payments but there's still the issue of the interest being more than what the payments are each month - so I'm never paying towards the actual amount, just to some of the interest that accumulates each month. It's ridiculous right now. I'm just hoping in a few years I can use the job experience to find a higher paying job in a similar area because I like what I'm doing now.
