Speaking of "No Thank You."

[WaltHer]

Over the last year or so, the .gov has presented a number of ideas to which the kind reply is "No thank you."
Of course most of these ideas are on issues I never signed on for in the first place. This seems a little different: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bu...ent-loan-payments-next-month-no-thank-you.amp

I guess if I was a part-time drama teacher, married to a dude, with a new baby I might feel ripped off too. That's why I don't do faggot shit and expect someone else to bail me out. Just the type of man who should not be anywhere near the "seat" of power.

You underestimate the high cost of ass lube and preparation H in the DC area……

Doesn’t want to pay back his student loans eh? Obviously they know very little about fiscal responsibility. This whole time his student loan payments have been deferred they have also not been accruing interest. Had he been wise, he would have continued payments which would have all gone to principal since they were not collecting interest. At least that’s my understanding. At some point, you have to pay the piper.

It does not say anything about this in the article, but college cost have gotten way out of hand. When I graduated in 1991 with a engineering degree, my offered starting salaries were about even with the overall cost of 4 years of school. Now, school costs about 2.5 times more than engineer starting salaries. Not near the value.

My child graduated 2012 with an engineering degree that we invested 250K which I was fortunate enough to pay for. When I hear of student loans being forgiven it boils my blood unless I can also recoup the educational cost I paid for.

Good for you

The majority of us who had to work for it hate your kid too.

 

[WaltHer]

Well, at least you (we) paid for degrees that enable us to do a job that has a high probability of paying for itself. Fucking "part-time drama teacher?" What the fuck do these ass-clowns think they're signing on for?

Hey if you can go to college at a highly reduced rate and get forgiven for any loans then why not take up Gender Studies. Gender studies is a field of interdisciplinary study devoted to gender identity and gendered representation as central categories of analysis. This field includes women's studies, men's studies, and LGBT studies. Sometimes, gender studies is offered together with study of sexuality. This has to be the most sought after position currently in our society.

As long as you maintain “full time student” status, and are working towards a degree, you can continue to defer your loans. Full time status is 2 classes at an accredited institution, even if they are on line. You can continue to defer loans, interest free until death, totally within the framework of the student loan program.

People would be amazed as to how much the GOV spends for GS employees student loans. It's called getting a job. Sure it's not saying these are the people we all want running the GOV, but I can tell you IF you are in the right career field...it will get paid off, you just need to work.

We live in a fucking clown world

It's like watching Idiocracy live

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Sounds like his/her degree in drama is paying off

If worthless “education” is a human right, can I make a Porsche GT3 and an AXMC a human right? Those are necessary for my survival, I swear…

I got my EE degree in 09 for about $50k. I earned tuition waivers and scholarships. Cost about $10k out of pocket in student loans. Get your kids to do well in HS, get a good ACT/SAT score, keep grades up in college, go to a local public university. A BS doesn’t have to cost a 1/4 mil.

ETA: Bust ass and get it done in 4 years too. Saves on all the fees and bullshit costs that aren’t tuition. And you get an extra year of your salary after you get out.

I'm getting really sick of paying for other peoples life choices.

But just think of how happy I’ll be driving my GT3. I’ll give you a ride in it if you want. It’s for the children…

It's about $100k here.

Buddies kid was looking at it. Figured starting wage is in the $75-100k range for construction engineering.
He didn't factor in all the free/low pay internships, then a few years drafting, then maybe getting brought into the engineering.

I hooked him up with a electrician running his own electoral contracting business with an EE to see what he could learn. He said after 5 years building his contracting business, he's about 3x the salary of 10 years of engineering was.

The engineering fields were flooded with the big push in 00-10 for engineering students to replace the boomers. They have more talent pool and wages have dropped off dramatically.

Area is huge too. I was making $120k/yr as a journeyman electrician in Williston. Field engineers with BSEE from Houston showed up. Got to talking and they were happy to get into oil and gas where they could make $75k/yr on salary, and had to travel to 3rd world shitholes on a regular basis. Their jaws dropped when I told them what I was making.

I wish I would have been an electrician instead of going to college. I’d be finished working making 10x the money I make right now.

If I get fired for not getting the chot, I’m going to do exactly what that EE did.

Drama teacher? Holy shit.
Gimme 10k a year and you can come learn all the fuckin drama you can stand from my extended family. Want a doctorate in that shit? $80k man! Thats a bargain. You'll have drama coming out your ass.....er.....or would you rather it go IN your ass?
