I mean they would have gotten a lot less push-back on the other side if they had done that.
dont get me wrong, i think forgiveness is great.
But the interest rate alone is just crazy. Your guaranteed to just stay in debt forever. Especially since they wanted at least Bachlor degrees (pre-pandemic anyway) for EVERYTHING. looking on indeed they wanted college degrees for jobs paying $12/hr. Like cmon… How is someone supposed to pay back a loan of $20k + back at 6.5% interest making such small amounts of money. thats not counting trying to find a place to live on that pay.
They wonder why so many more teens and people in their 20s were living at home still. Too expensive to leave.
Congrats! and Good Luck! I got lucky and Am a few years older then you, so i was able to get it done before everything got so crazy. My area is also isnt too expensive. When i moved out it was with 3 other friends in a rented house. took many years but finally became a homeowner.
If I didn’t have Teacher Loan Forgiveness, I would still be paying off my loans 10 years later. Although I probably wouldn’t have gone into teaching in the first place…
My girlfriend is in the same boat. 2 masters degrees. Been teaching for awhile. Now getting in to Admin. She’s counting the years till it’s forgiven. The sheer amount is insane for a profession that doesn’t make alot of money to start

Talking about living at home … I’m finally at 32 moving out… and moving in with a roommate… rent here is bad.

Im sure things will calm down someday.
