well, this particular bill applies to folks who have paid 10% of their income for 10 years, which is fair.

At this point, however, people need to seriously consider WTF they are doing when they take on 6 figures of debt. If I were facing that now, I would not do it again. I got out with $16K in loans and thought that was bad.

- I am not so sure, honestly. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:44 7
  - take your college degree(s) off your resume and go apply for some jobs -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 21:44 6
    - Better yet, look at the requirements for a lot of entry level jobs like receptionist or help desk helper. - Trish Mar 13, 21:52 2
      - are you talking about the "job requirements" or what the job *actually* requires -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 21:54 1
        
        I'm talking written job requirements. It's pretty commonsensical that a degree isn't required to do the job. - Trish Mar 13, 22:01
    - I am not sure it has to be a premium, six figure degree. It depends. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:45 2
      - yeah. med school could pay that off, law school could if you're a reasonable lawyer, probably a reputable mba depending on your other experience - mafic Mar 13, 21:51 1
        
        for some careers, networking matters more than experience. but again, it depends. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:59
