This appears exceedingly merciless.

To the editor: If an individual continues to be paying again his or her loans into their older years, then they picked the fallacious faculty and the fallacious main. My feeling is that the center class has gotten tricked into believing that if their little one will get into an elite college, then they’ve the keys to the nice life. The issue with this perception is that this: Their little one could attend an costly elite faculty however research in a low-paying main. Thus, their little one’s debt turns into a specter haunting their life for many years.
Until your little one goes to check in a STEM discipline or another high-paying main, encourage them to decide on a college the place their scholar debt received’t be a curse on their lives even into their golden years.
