Well it helps that I have savings for college, I just didn't want to have to use it all up. Aid went down about 1,000 each year. But it looks like I should be able to make it through this year.

What I usually do is right when the semester starts I go in the financial aid office and try to scrap the pan with the counselors to see if they can find anything else to add. It usually works even if its only $500. Every dime counts

My friend graduated with 4 year degree... couldnt find a job so he went for masters in accounting... got $35,000 more in loans... Still can't find a job. He owes like $90,000. I worked with a girl, she owes $590,000 to state in tuition money. She got a masters in sports medicine and couldnt find a job so now she decided to go to pharmacy school. Not smart.

Point is... When you graduate, you better find a job somehow or somewhere. G'ment will come after you hard.

Ouch. You can never get rid of student loan debt. If you declare bankruptcy, it will not go away. It will literally follow you to the grave and then transfer to your family members.

If your friend really owes 590k, she is fuged for life.

That's what scares me about grad school and post grad school. Even people with very advanced degrees are having a tough time finding a job. I'm not sure I want to risk taking on the debt. I don't owe anything right now. I feel like just graduating, try to market myself better, and accomplish some things while im still in my youth.

I find myself fortunate that the only loans I had to take out were summer school loans. Even then that amount is probably under $6,000. I refuse to think about grad school right now until I can get a job and hopefully have my employer pay for further education

She's not really my friend and it is true. Pharmacists usually make around $110,000 so she thinks she'll be able to pay it off. Last I heard of her she was trying to get engage to some guy who just became a pharmacist. She did not tell him about 590k debt...

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
