- That article is a lot more reasonable... - Will Hunting Mar 10, 12:33 1
  - still a level of privilege most others don't get to experience. -- nm - decline Mar 10, 12:40
What kind of non profit pays a quarter mil a year to entry level employees (was that a mistake one year to pay in the story? ) - zeitgeist Mar 10, 12:05 2

Get a 'small' loan from your dad, then make investments with other people's money. -- nm - Trump Mar 10, 12:02
ftr, given the advantages they had, i mean, good for them to get it paid off. It's the "if i can do it, so can you!" part that is so galling. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 11:59 5
- exactly. This is a person who has a lot of help from family and obviously everyone's family can't buy them condos as gifts and give them free housing. - Diva Mar 10, 12:00
- exactly. Happy the person is out of debt, but thinking that this experience is in *any way* normal is nuts -- nm - ty97 Mar 10, 12:00 2
  - how do you think the author is paying for their debt? it's like those ebook scams "How to make a million dollars" - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 10, 12:02 1
    - The author wrote an article that people read. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 12:03

  - Horton fucks a who? -- nm - ty97 Mar 10, 11:59 1
    - Dah WHO back Doorage -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 10, 13:39
what did she study? I would argue that almost degree is worth that. -- nm - amanda jones state university Mar 10, 11:57 4
- Undergrad & MBA -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 12:06 1
  - I would argue that if you get an MBA full-time and don't get most of your tuition covered, you're at the wrong school. - amanda jones state university Mar 10, 12:10
- they probably should have applied for the privilege scholarship -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 10, 11:59 1
  - not really related: this is funny. -- (link) - amanda jones state university Mar 10, 12:05
How do you get $220K in debt? -- nm - ty97 Mar 10, 11:57 9
- she probably bought a house while she was in school. With help. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 12:02
- Six years of college ain't cheap. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 11:59
- easy. many of the schools we're looking at are easily 40-50k/yr not really including room and board (though many do give substantial - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 10, 11:58 5
  - "Seven in 10 seniors (68%) who graduated from public and nonprofit colleges in 2015 had student loan debt, with an average of $30,100 per borrower." -- nm - mara Mar 10, 12:28
  - right. so she must have qualified for almost zero need-based or merit-based aid. again, I would argue that almost no degree is worth - amanda jones state university Mar 10, 12:01
  - Right, I know there are 50K private school out there, but few people pay sticker due to endowments and scholarships -- nm - ty97 Mar 10, 11:59 2
    - yeah, we were seeing easily 12k-25k off a 35-45k tuition typically -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 10, 11:59 1
      - I realize state school has gone up a lot too since I went to school, butI'm really happy my parents pushed me toward state school. - ty97 Mar 10, 12:19
- go to some snobby private school -- nm - decline Mar 10, 11:57
Like what the hell are you people doing not selling your extra condos? -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 11:55 2
- Rookie. -- nm - SCPOTUS Mar 10, 11:57
- they probably had iPhones too -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 10, 11:57
Well yeah, give me a free condo and I could do that. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 11:54 7
- and an obviously well paying job from her mother. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 11:55 6
  - Plus a husband to help pay for things. - Spawn Mar 10, 11:56 5
    - and free room and board from the grandparents when they rent out the condo -- nm - decline Mar 10, 11:57 4
      - and then when the grandparents moved, she lived in their house rent-free while still collecting condo rent. I hate everything about this article. -- nm - amanda jones state university Mar 10, 12:11 3
        
        One way to look at it is she owes her mom a lot of the $200k. -- nm - Max Mar 10, 12:15
        
        It's sad the site doesn't have comments turned on. They probably would be stellar -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 10, 12:12 1
        
        I know!!!I thought that too. -- nm - amanda jones state university Mar 10, 12:19
