    But let's be realistic here. Yes the student loan delinquency ratio is high. But if the government do not guarantee those student loans, no financial institutions are going to lend to these group of people. Not everybody has a rich mom and dad that can pay for their college education. That would deprive a lot of Americans from getting a college degree. Which is worse? I guess we ought to look at the big picture.

    I've never understood the odd fascination around college when I was in school. I remember going to the counselor in 12th grade and her asking which schools I wanted to applied to. I didn't want to apply to any. College was not in my future. I had no idea what I wanted to do other than be a writer. So I felt pressured to choose these schools and then finally at the end of it all just told her I really didn't want to do it and would figure it out later. I felt judged. Just crazy! I will never make my children feel like they have to go to college, and if they do, they must know what they want to do and be able to pay for their own loans.

    Matthew Edwards Grew up in Canada, sometimes I wish I had gone to college but didn’t...you can always find excuses. Money, support... I decided to go back to my birth country Switzerland at the age of 22 after completing a scam of an apprenticeship in Canada as a Baker. Worked in factories all my life with not that bad of pay but it was and still is hard work. My 4 children are all educated here and are finished or are in rolled in the apprenticeship program here. My son is in his 3 rd year training as IT specialist. One daughter is a hairdresser. In August my other daughter starts her training as a nurse. My youngest son will probably get into mechanical training. This all costs me practically nothing and the trainees even get paid a small salary. All will have jobs when finished.... I personally think it’s a fantastic system and never regret leaving Canada for the sake of my children having it better than what I had to go through.

    When you’re 18 you don’t know what you want to do with your life. You just want the “college experience.” I was no different. I’m thankful for the friends I made at college, for the culture, the study abroad opportunity, the discovery of a specific passion, the faith growth-but I do wish I had the brains to consider a gap year or something. I went into debt to get a job I hated so that I could pay off....the debt. Kudos to women (and men) who are smart and go to college with a career goal in mind. But that’s not my style-I’m artsy and I’ve had a lot of tension with my dad about this. Sooo yeah.

    I don’t think it’s fair to say that about ANYONE who’s 18. I keep circling back to this, but if our society stopped babying teenagers, we’d be so much more adjusted. Infantilization is associated with higher rates or psychopathology, such as mental illnesses.

Meaning the Federal Reserve always has to keep printing money and making insane loans, that's why its "GUARANTEED" Wake up America, learn about the Federal Reserve, Monatery Policy, Fractional Reserve Banking, 1913 Federal Act, Brentwoods Agreement etc. Before this whole Debt based economy BLOWS UP.
