I ended up working 60 hour weeks to not take out student loans. People talk about having a good time at college but all I remember is getting up at 4am to go to my first job, doing class all day and working my second job until 10pm. No spring breaks and no summers or holidays because I could work those hours to stay out of debt. It is hard to have much sympathy for people asking for student loan forgiveness.

On the plus side I ended up graduating with $20 and no debt.

Don't fall prey to these tales to yourself.

I worked full time thru college for bad pay and still needed 30k in student loans to make it out with my degree. I went to a state school, nothing fancy.

I hardly ever had fun in college, it was awful. The working world is waaaaaaay better for me.

Not everyone who has loan debt just partied away on borrowed cash.

>The working world is waaaaaaay better for me.

Same for me, working seems so easy by comparison.

You're absolutely correct. The people in my life who are the most vocal about loan forgiveness treated their time at university like a party, but that is not a representative sample.

I agree. I also remember working Friday/Saturday nights in the lab (as that was the only time I got to work on my projects), while everybody went out clubbing.
