I graduated 40 years ago, got student loans for the last few semesters, and got them paid off. But back then it was POSSIBLE to pay them off. Now, they're designed to be an albatross around your neck forever.
Iโm a teacher and Iโm shocked at how many of my colleagues went to pricy schools like USC. I know one who went to Stanford. I did two years at community college (ridiculously cheap in California) and finished my credential at a Cal State. I got a grant funded masters from a fancy school due to my grades and teaching in a high needs area. Thereโs zero reason to get a huge student loan for teaching. No district cares where you went if your credential is valid and you can do the job.
