chick is straight fabricating.

she wont talk about all the times they was off course like dossers, is she trying to be a brigette jones diary author. chick needs to learn to summarise.

I'm saying tho $718K in debt is looking kinda crazy don't even know if it's ever possible to even pay that back.,. Even with two incomes...

Brehs a dentist


It’s going to take a while but they’ll be okay. Dentists make a lot

No breh just got accepted he still needs to do 3/4 years.



Bachelor in english L all around

She studied English, then doubled down with a Master's. He studied a pure science and didn't go all the way to a PhD. Didn't even pick a more applicable science like computer science.


This has less to do with education and more to do with their poor choices in what to study. If your goal is employment opportunities then engineering, computer science, medicine, accounting and nursing are right there.


Talmbout English and biology, then doubling down with useless Master's degrees.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

I later enrolled in school for my master’s degree to fill an emotional void. A decision that cost me $64,595.44.

Idiot.

 

[ba'al]

Can't spell college without at least two L's. Shoutout to all my Military brothas and Tradesmen.

 

[Concerned Citizen]

I have zero sympathy for them. My wife and I have about $100k in school debt combined. I went to law school and ended up not practicing or taking the bar and still parlayed that into making $110k a year. Wife got a masters in social work and makes 80k. Them getting education or the cost of education isn’t the issue. Also, we waited until we were financially set before having kids. This shyt isn’t rocket science.

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

He’s gonna make a killing once he finishes dental school tho. They need to wait it out

After reading this article and seeing their life choices (and how he couldn’t get into dentist school til he got the hookup), you would choose Breh as your dentist ?

I’m not even sure he’ll finish. I could see breh dropping out and taking out more loans for no reason.

Dentists make money but not enough for 718K in student loan debt b. And we not even mentioning their other expenses

 

[Smokin Rider]

fukk that college shyt breh. I went when I was 20 and dropped out owing 8k, went into default for not making payments. I paid it off last year and am making 26/hr and moving up. A lot of my old friends who went to college struggle to find work, I feel for them but that college life is a scam with the debt that's involved

To expand on this, they took my whole tax return the last 4 years and I still paid 5k last year straight up to put it away, I probably paid 15k to get my credit clean. and I'm not against getting your education but I'm the type of dude to read business books and learn on my own. My brother made his own business with a GED and makes 150k a year and I'm the same way, I'm not a dumb, I've hustled and went thru licks and I know how people think. I regret that shyt, I've paid my karma 100x over but I'm on good path cause I've lost everything. Get a lucrative degree if you're in college or learn a trade, the ins and outs, asks questions and master that shyt and start your own shyt, my own boss told my I'm too smart to keep doing this job and is helping me start my own shyt that will take over theirs, nobody can stop you but yourself brehs. I look at life like there is no turning back

At the end of the day, dont be afraid to ask questions, knowledge is power brehs. I still have a looooong way to go, I'm not tryna shyt on college but if you're like me, it dont work. I'm a deep thinker, I just want the ones who read this and understand it to succeed. I've lost a lot of friends and family including my mom as a supporter (and I'm still tryna make her proud). Grind dogg just keep grinding, you'll make it

Sadly I don’t think he’s going to finish it either.

Student loans are ridiculous, but this family made some bad decisions too. English degree? husband wasted a lot of money trying to go to dental school as well. People gotta look at college as more of an investment than a “dream”

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

I graduated in 2012 with $23,025.88 in student loans.

That's not all that much, the equivalent of a car and you get 10 years to repay it. This aint worth complaining about.

With my English degree in hand, I was ready to face the world and chase down a dream job in magazine publishing, but I was stuck. I had zero leads on where to start job-hunting and lacked the confidence to try. I was frozen,

The English degree ain't even the L in this situation. Not job hunting while still in school is the L. You know damn well this bih graduated and then was like

Ok it's time to get serious
. Lack the confidence to go get paid

Life did not go as planned. Otis and I could not secure high-paying jobs. Otis accumulated $80,000 in undergraduate debt, grappled studying for the Dental Admission Test and couldn’t get the test score needed for acceptance. I doubted my ability as a writer and began to explore a career in the mental health field.

Otis need his ass beat. If you rack up that level of debt then you clearly don't give a damn. This was early 2010s, they had internet and ability to apply for scholarships. On top of that it sounds like he was fukking around instead of putting the work in for that test. I'm starting to doubt these two's ability to walk and breathe at the same time
.

We were married in 2014 and due to some birth control errors had a surprise baby in 2015.

Birth control errors my ass. fukk all the way on outta here
.

I stopped working to stay home and raise our son with plans to expand our family.

After all the debt they accumulated And the expense of a kid, she decided to stop bringing in money :cosbytf:
? These people are the architects of their own misfortune.

I later enrolled in school for my master’s degree to fill an emotional void. A decision that cost me $64,595.44.

An emotional void? Yous a stupid motherfukker goddamn... Can't have sympathy for someone who keeps asking for Ls.

After three years of rejections, Otis gave up on being a dentist, and he earned an MBA in health administration for a whopping $101,000.

He should have taken that 80 grand biology degree and got into doing lab work
. Instead he decided to take out yet more loans and do something totally unrelated.

Externally, we did everything right. We graduated from college, were married, purchased a house and had children.

Nah, you did one of those things right, barely. You graduated college.

The itch of an old dream reemerged and Otis applied to dental school a final time. On Feb. 27, 2019 he was accepted. The American dream is not cheap, and when he graduates it will cost my family a total of $718,000 in student loan debt.

After all of the bad decision-making they deserve every bit of that debt.

Choosing to attend a four-year university was not a lighthearted decision for either of us. O

Clearly it was when yall decided to keep on going back to get degrees all willy fukking nilly.

We desire to give back to our community, support businesses and help our parents.

Yall can't even help yourselves. Maybe get that right first.

But the high tuition costs and ballooning interest rates limit us. I feel that Americans are sold a dream and then punished for pursuing it.

You sold yourself the dream and second guessed yourself out of it. You got punished for your sheer stupidity.

 

[Geode]

English and biology degrees

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

The real problem is that the husband spent 101,000 on a for-profit MBA (Walden University)

 

[karim]

Can you imagine paying off student loans for the rest of your life?

that's what happens when the cost of education is privatized, wages stagnate and inflation is almost non existant.

 

[Noriega]

It’s because they pushing college so heavy in the high schools now. I know so many mfs who dropped out after the first year, terrible students in high school but them guidance counselors were pushing them to go.

They’d call me down every week

“ So have you applied to any schools or for financial aid

“Nope,going into the union trades foh”

Not going to college is the wisest decision I’ve ever made. Completely debt free at 21

40k a year no debt vs 65k a year with 50k student loan debt

I’ll take my situation over many of my friends with degrees
