    Cancelling student debt wouldn't bother me if they reimbursed the
    money the rest of us paid to the schools. Right, Wayne?

    I could go along with cancelling or reducing the interest on student
    loans.

    That's the problem with these bizarre statements.  Imagine how much it
    would cost to reimburse tuition money to every living person in the US. 
    There isn't enough paper to print that kind of money!

    The simple truth is that it's a ploy to get more votes ahead of the
    midterms.

    Great lesson to send these kids out in the world with. Rack up a huge
    debt and get someone else to pay it.
    No wonder we call them snowflakes.
    AOC is just a flake. I wonder how many debts she skipped out on?

    The tax payer would still have to pay the lender. This is a government guaranteed loan.
    As for what the government paid for a military education, the
    "student" paid them back with years of service at far less than
    minimum wage and a not insignificant chance of dying for their
    country.
    As for the kids today;
    These kids can get their student debt discharged by taking a job for
    10 years in some kind of public service. My SIL is doing that.

    Both of my sons were in college at the same time at $40K/year each. We paid for most of it out of pocket so loan debt was never an issue but we definitely felt the cash pinch. They both put themselves through graduate school on student loans but that
    has turned out to be a good investment for them. They've repaid all of their grad school loans with no help from me.

    In my opinion the big problem with student loan debt stems from too many students racking up debt with no thought given to future value of their education.

    I think another large contributor is the "you MUST go to college" mantra. If you
    have the smarts and a specific plan for how you will use a degree, it's fine. But college
    isn't for everyone, and is not necessary to make a very comfortable living.

    It's a part of the snowflake problem today. They think that since they went to college and
    got a degree, they should immediately have that nice house, big screen, and Benz in the driveway.
    Now they want a free education as well? The real world needs to slap them in the face. Hard.

    For many, college is a vehicle for postponing entry into the real

    Giant problem is “The Educators”!!! Some years ago, at least in California the education establishment decreed that all should go college prep track
    in high school and if they want training as a welder or auto mechanic or
    any trade, they should go to state university or community college.
    Dropped shop classes in high school. 20% maybe should go to college.
    40% have the smarts, maybe half have the drive. Let’s use Harry as an example. Brags about his education, masters, etc. how much money did
    that cost his family and society to get that education which resulted in a couple of bankruptcy filings, and sued by payday lenders? True North said
    his employer, in actuality, the Canadian government, paid for some college.
    Did that college actually have a return on investment? Also, every time
    the government raised student loan amounts the colleges raised costs a
    little more. College costs rose at about 4x inflation for years. Don’t know about the last few years.

    Cancelling student debt wouldn't bother me if they reimbursed the
    money the rest of us paid to the schools. Right, Wayne?

    I could go along with cancelling or reducing the interest on student
    loans.


    You paid?
    I'd bet Uncle Sam picked up the bill for your school'in.

    I'm talking about my kids and grandkids. Of course, you probably
    didn't worry about that.

    That's the problem with these bizarre statements.  Imagine how much it
    would cost to reimburse tuition money to every living person in the US.
    There isn't enough paper to print that kind of money!

    The simple truth is that it's a ploy to get more votes ahead of the
    midterms.
    Amen. By the way, I went shooting at the range the other day for the
    first time since Covid.

    I need more practise!

    It's been too long for me but I will be up at our range next week.

    Both of my sons were in college at the same time at $40K/year each. We paid for most of it out of pocket so loan debt was never an issue but we definitely felt the cash pinch. They both put themselves through graduate school on student loans but that
    has turned out to be a good investment for them. They've repaid all of their grad school loans with no help from me.

    In my opinion the big problem with student loan debt stems from too many students racking up debt with no thought given to future value of their education.

    The problem with my SIL is he racked up a big bill learning all about environmental sciences (BS/MS) and then went to law school (passed
    bar). With his resume he could be making a quarter mill working for
    developers but he wants to do good, not well. He has a job that
    doesn't pay well but is supposed to wipe out his debt so we will see.
    He still has to pay for 10 years tho. I think he is only covering the
    interest on his debt.

    The system itself encourages people to rack up more debt. As long as
    you are still in school, your payments are deferred but the interest
    keeps racking up. You get a degree, figure out the job that comes with
    that degree won't pay the bill so you go back to school. rinse repeat
    kicking the can down the road and hoping some miracle will happen like
    AOC.
    Pretty soon you have a masters or in the case of a girl we know a PHD
    and you are still working for chump change. That girl did get a little
    break by working for the college where she got the PHD so it was a
    whole lot cheaper but far from free. When I asked her how much it was
    she just said "A mortgage".

    I never have understood the reliance on student debt to go to school.
    I went ... for many years ... on the "pay as you go plan." Got help
    via the GI Bill but it didn't pay for everything so I had to balance
    school costs with all my other financial responsibilities.

    Took a few years but accrued any outstanding education debt.

    There are many ways to further your education if you want to without
    assuming a lifelong debt. Also, I think too many people over-value
    what school they want to attend. In the end, it's the degree that's
    most important, not the alma mater. Unless you seriously believe
    you are going to be a ultra prominent attorney or a politician, the
    particular school you attend is not really important.

    As an employer, I'd much rather hire someone who graduated from a
    small school who worked their way towards getting a degree than
    someone who attended an Ivy league university paid for with student
    loans or by mommy and daddy.

    Nor did standing close to an operating radar array.
    You certainly are living proof of that.


    Actually the antenna was on the roof of the building. Airborne radars.
    We were nowhere near the antenna. We just hooked up the waveguide and
    looked at the return picture on the scope. We knew the radar was accurate when we got the return from Mt. Diablo and the iron bridge at Rio Vista in
    the correct place. I never got hit with the radar beam, but a couple got
    hit in the hand for the waveguide connection. Bad wound as it takes
    forever to heal from being cooked internally. Ground radars were much
    more dangerous. Most of ours were 50Kw at a 2% duty cycle. Were
    transport airplanes, not the high power targeting radars of fighters.
    Maybe you should have stood closer, as then you to could have maybe gotten
    a degree that let you have a decent career.

    year about some girl with $123k student debt. For an English degree and

    A lot depends on what year we are talking about. VA benefit
    eligibility changed a lot since 1971 when I was looking.
    I had over 12 months continuous active (by 11 days).
    Education was based on your active duty time.
    I could get enough education to get a free Heathkit GR25 TV on a "TV
    repair and electronics" course but not a 2 year degree from a college.
    They did offer me a mortgage but I did as well in the private sector
    because I had the one third down.
    I was never offered medical. In fact in 71 that was just for service
    connected ailments and retired.


    I finished Feb, 1971 with my 6 years. You needed the 12 months active.
    I missed that by transferring from the 349 MAW at Hamilton AFB 5 days

    I ended up being extended 11 days after my 12 months. I was never sure
    why. It gave me the same VA benefits a 2 year person got, for a while.
    Then later when I looked they trimmed that all back. I didn't really
    care. There wasn't much I needed from them. IBM had 100% tuition
    refund but I found out right away, it was not going to mean more money
    in my salary and I was already spending 4-5 months a year in school.
    We did have one guy who got into that Pentagon U thing where they had accelerated degrees for DoD folks and he ended up with a masters
    before it was all over. IBM said "so what"? "We hired you to be a CE.
    Can you fix machines better now"? They were not interested in making
    him a manager.
    He ended up quitting. I never heard what happened to him after that
    but I knew going to college wasn't going to help me any. I didn't want
    to be a manager and if I did, I could get the job without a degree. By
    the time I moved to Florida I had already done some of the jobs that
    were precursors to management and I didn't like them.

    That’s True North. I fixed radars. You should not have run your microwave
    oven with the door open. Did not do good things for your brain.


    Nor did standing close to an operating radar array.
    You certainly are living proof of that.

    Actually the antenna was on the roof of the building. Airborne radars.
    We were nowhere near the antenna. We just hooked up the waveguide and
    looked at the return picture on the scope. We knew the radar was accurate when we got the return from Mt. Diablo and the iron bridge at Rio Vista in the correct place. I never got hit with the radar beam, but a couple got
    hit in the hand for the waveguide connection. Bad wound as it takes
    forever to heal from being cooked internally. Ground radars were much
    more dangerous. Most of ours were 50Kw at a 2% duty cycle. Were
    transport airplanes, not the high power targeting radars of fighters.
    Maybe you should have stood closer, as then you to could have maybe gotten
    a degree that let you have a decent career.



    Say what... I think you mean too not "to".

    I wanted to be an engineer designing as opposed to fixing. Definitely was
    not the manager type, more hands on. In high school I figured to be a mechanical engineer or a geologist. Actually went to work for NCR when
    19, to get money to go to university. Was going to go to UC Berkeley, but
    not set up for working students. Probably could have got some priority as
    my dad worked for UC as a machinist, later management.

    For the last 2/3ds of my career I was doing more "fixing the process"
    than fixing machines. The machine part was just muscle memory for us.
    I got to do all the designing I wanted to do, creating an environment
    where we didn't work very hard and we had great numbers so they left
    us alone. I was very lucky to have a good team both in Ft Myers and on
    3d shift in DC. Nobody else could make our processes work so they
    stopped asking what we were doing.

    I also did all the design work here at the house. (Addition, pool, 2
    baths, kitchen, a shit load of Tiki Bars according to Harry and the Ed
    Labrador Memorial bridge).
    Nothing fell down yet and I didn't spend four years having someone
    tell me I could do it. I just did.

    A lot depends on what year we are talking about. VA benefit
    eligibility changed a lot since 1971 when I was looking.
    I had over 12 months continuous active (by 11 days).
    Education was based on your active duty time.
    I could get enough education to get a free Heathkit GR25 TV on a "TV
    repair and electronics" course but not a 2 year degree from a college.
    They did offer me a mortgage but I did as well in the private sector
    because I had the one third down.
    I was never offered medical. In fact in 71 that was just for service
    connected ailments and retired.


    I finished Feb, 1971 with my 6 years. You needed the 12 months active.
    I missed that by transferring from the 349 MAW at Hamilton AFB 5 days >>before the general in charge volunteered the unit for,active duty when the >>Pueblo was seized.

    I ended up being extended 11 days after my 12 months. I was never sure
    why. It gave me the same VA benefits a 2 year person got, for a while.
    Then later when I looked they trimmed that all back. I didn't really
    care. There wasn't much I needed from them. IBM had 100% tuition
    refund but I found out right away, it was not going to mean more money
    in my salary and I was already spending 4-5 months a year in school.
    We did have one guy who got into that Pentagon U thing where they had >accelerated degrees for DoD folks and he ended up with a masters
    before it was all over. IBM said "so what"? "We hired you to be a CE.
    Can you fix machines better now"? They were not interested in making
    him a manager.
    He ended up quitting. I never heard what happened to him after that
    but I knew going to college wasn't going to help me any. I didn't want
    to be a manager and if I did, I could get the job without a degree. By
    the time I moved to Florida I had already done some of the jobs that
    were precursors to management and I didn't like them.

    My first masters helped my Army career, and I needed most of a second
    to become a teacher. Sometimes those degrees help a bit.

    Don't worry about me Justine, I'm right as rain.
    Worry about your head turd The John and that sad case out in Kalifornia.
    They have an odd habit of throwing themselves off ladders and roofs onto their soft heads.

    Cancelling student debt wouldn't bother me if
    they reimbursed the
    money the rest of us paid to the schools.
    Right, Wayne?

    I could go along with cancelling or reducing the interest on student
    loans.
    ==Both of my sons were in college at the same time at $40K/year each. We

    with no help from me.

    In my opinion the big problem with student loan debt stems from too many
    students racking up debt with no thought given to future value of their
    education.


    Also the fact we let them run up huge debt for low pay jobs. Articles last
    year about some girl with $123k student debt. For an English degree and
    masters. She never worked in college. Used the summers and any leftover
    money to tour Europe to
    ? broaden her education ?. And we let them do this, we are enablers.

    I never have understood the reliance on student debt to go to school.
    I went ... for many years ... on the "pay as you go plan." Got help
    via the GI Bill but it didn't pay for everything so I had to balance
    school costs with all my other financial responsibilities. >>>>>>>>>>>>

    NCR paid part of my tuition, but not books. So I worked full time and took

    That’s True North. I fixed radars. You should not have run your microwave
    oven with the door open. Did not do good things for your brain.


    Nor did standing close to an operating radar array.
    You certainly are living proof of that.

    Actually the antenna was on the roof of the building. Airborne radars.
    We were nowhere near the antenna. We just hooked up the waveguide and

    In my opinion the big problem with student loan debt stems from too many
    students racking up debt with no thought given to future value of their education.


    Also the fact we let them run up huge debt for low pay jobs. Articles last
    year about some girl with $123k student debt. For an English degree and
    masters. She never worked in college. Used the summers and any leftover
    money to tour Europe to
    ? broaden her education ?. And we let them do this, we are enablers.

    A lot depends on what year we are talking about. VA benefit
    eligibility changed a lot since 1971 when I was looking.
    I had over 12 months continuous active (by 11 days).
    Education was based on your active duty time.
    I could get enough education to get a free Heathkit GR25 TV on a "TV
    repair and electronics" course but not a 2 year degree from a college. >>>> They did offer me a mortgage but I did as well in the private sector

    I was never offered medical. In fact in 71 that was just for service

    I finished Feb, 1971 with my 6 years. You needed the 12 months active. >>>I missed that by transferring from the 349 MAW at Hamilton AFB 5 days >>>before the general in charge volunteered the unit for,active duty when the >>>Pueblo was seized.

    I ended up being extended 11 days after my 12 months. I was never sure
    why. It gave me the same VA benefits a 2 year person got, for a while.
    Then later when I looked they trimmed that all back. I didn't really
    care. There wasn't much I needed from them. IBM had 100% tuition
    refund but I found out right away, it was not going to mean more money
    in my salary and I was already spending 4-5 months a year in school.
    We did have one guy who got into that Pentagon U thing where they had >>accelerated degrees for DoD folks and he ended up with a masters
    before it was all over. IBM said "so what"? "We hired you to be a CE.
    Can you fix machines better now"? They were not interested in making
    him a manager.
    He ended up quitting. I never heard what happened to him after that
    but I knew going to college wasn't going to help me any. I didn't want
    to be a manager and if I did, I could get the job without a degree. By
    the time I moved to Florida I had already done some of the jobs that
    were precursors to management and I didn't like them.

    My first masters helped my Army career, and I needed most of a second
    to become a teacher. Sometimes those degrees help a bit.

    I suppose it all depends on what you want to do.

    The machine part was just muscle memory for us.I got to do all the designing I wanted to do, creating an environmentwhere we didn't work very hard and we had great numbers so they leftus alone. I was very lucky to have a good team both in Ft Myers and
    on3d shift in DC. Nobody else could make our processes work so theystopped asking what we were doing. I also did all the design work here at the house. (Addition, pool, 2baths, kitchen, a shit load of Tiki Bars according to Harry and the
    EdLabrador Memorial bridge). Nothing fell down yet and I didn't spend four years having someonetell me I could do it. I just did.

    No permits for any of that?

    The pool and the addition.

    Cancelling student debt wouldn't bother me if they reimbursed the
    money the rest of us paid to the schools. Right, Wayne?

    I could go along with cancelling or reducing the interest on student
    loans.

    Please do, I'd like my $300,000 deposited in my Vanguard account.

    In my opinion the big problem with student loan debt stems from too many
    students racking up debt with no thought given to future value of their education.


    Also the fact we let them run up huge debt for low pay jobs. Articles last
    year about some girl with $123k student debt. For an English degree and
    masters. She never worked in college. Used the summers and any leftover

    I had over 12 months continuous active (by 11 days).
    Education was based on your active duty time.

    I had over 12 months continuous active (by 11 days).
    Education was based on your active duty time.
    I could get enough education to get a free Heathkit GR25 TV on a "TV >>>>> repair and electronics" course but not a 2 year degree from a college. >>>>> They did offer me a mortgage but I did as well in the private sector >>>>> because I had the one third down.
    I was never offered medical. In fact in 71 that was just for service >>>>> connected ailments and retired.


    I finished Feb, 1971 with my 6 years. You needed the 12 months active. >>>>I missed that by transferring from the 349 MAW at Hamilton AFB 5 days >>>>before the general in charge volunteered the unit for,active duty when the >>>>Pueblo was seized.

    I ended up being extended 11 days after my 12 months. I was never sure >>>why. It gave me the same VA benefits a 2 year person got, for a while. >>>Then later when I looked they trimmed that all back. I didn't really >>>care. There wasn't much I needed from them. IBM had 100% tuition
    refund but I found out right away, it was not going to mean more money
    in my salary and I was already spending 4-5 months a year in school.
    We did have one guy who got into that Pentagon U thing where they had >>>accelerated degrees for DoD folks and he ended up with a masters
    before it was all over. IBM said "so what"? "We hired you to be a CE.
    Can you fix machines better now"? They were not interested in making
    him a manager.
    He ended up quitting. I never heard what happened to him after that
    but I knew going to college wasn't going to help me any. I didn't want
    to be a manager and if I did, I could get the job without a degree. By >>>the time I moved to Florida I had already done some of the jobs that
    were precursors to management and I didn't like them.

    I'm sure you were able to fix at least a couple of more shitters in 11 >>days... you've got some experience!

    That wasn't one of Donnie's posts, dummy.

    Little Johnny..we don't care how many shitters you fixed.
