If you're taliking about the exemple in the article, I think she's 58 now, but did the degree in the 1980s -- nm - Guigue Apr 4, 07:22 2

- looks like it was a private loan. With a federal loan she should have deferred when she hit hard times, without it ballooning. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 07:23
I did it, but part-time at a state college. No loans. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 4, 07:21 3
- this is different -- you did it because you love it! and you could afford it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 07:22
- Yes, as loosi said below. Big difference between paying for it vs. borrowing money. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 4, 07:21
- And no ultimate financial gain - but I have a great hobby for retirement ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 4, 07:21
it's fine as long as you can pay for it ... which they apparently can't. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 07:19
