Loans can be at least partially discharged in bankruptcy, so that is incorrect. They are more stringent, but with the current public perception of college loans, judges are more likely to agree that the conditions this must meet are true. Secondly, college is free for a lot of people, as in some states anyone making less than $20k/yr goes to a state university for free. This isn't incredibly obvious, and some grants received may be relatively unknown, such as a grant from a college that's not on their website of $7k a year for low-income students. You also can't generalize everyone's feelings. Some people aren't compatible with trades. |

Saw a guy I knew in school post a pic where there were two people. On the left was a person who was clearly supposed to represent some sort of business man, perhaps and executive. The image claimed this man made made $120k per years and had $100k in student debt. On the right was a linemen. The image claimed there made $130k a year with 0 debt.
The average salary for a lineman? Decent, but definitely nowhere near $130k. Both BLS and Glassdoor have it around $65k. There seems to be some myth going around that certain trades are an instant path ot size figures. Sure, after many many years of experience, in a specialized trade and/or in an expensive state with strong union protections you can maybe make six figures, but most trade apprenticeships I've seen dont pay much better than entry level office admin jobs I see.
