[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3626820, member: 10690"] I'm not. I'm talking about work. Before & after school. Summers. Work study. Employer reimbursements, etc, etc, etc. There are untold ways of getting a college degree without taking out school loans. I knew a guy that worked his way thru night law school, at Tulsa no less. You wanna know why, because that bastard really, really wanted to be a lawyer. He ran the Housing Authority in Muskogee, full time, the boss of the whole outfit, and he drove into Downtown Tulsa every night, both terms and summers to take classes. He took him a while, but I never knew a guy that was as proud of his degree as that guy was. That is just anecdotal evidence, but the fact remains, if you want that degree bad enough, you can get it without taking out a loan. I have no sympathy for those that are buried under school loans. They did it to themselves. Life is about choices. When you make bad ones, you gotta pay the price. Good for you and your son. Well done. [/QUOTE]
