If you feel your ONLY option is school, go to school and also get a job. This generation is full of complainers and people who feel entitled to everything. Even people who finish a 4 year program think they're entitled to a top job and refuse to work anywhere else. Those same people then proceed to sit on their *** at their mom's house, until they find something. It sickens me. Some of us go to school full time, and work full time with no help from loans. Is it hard? Yes, but if you want it that bad then you'll do whatever it takes.

Everyone has different circumstances.
Is it any wonder young people feel entitled when every high school in America preaches that college is a necessity?
"College is for everyone" that's what they like to say. But the truth is it's not for everyone. Unless you have parents that were very well off or business savvy (and if thats the case they probably saved for you anyway), there's no one to tell a clueless 16-18 year old that ITS A TRAP!!! (word to Admiral Ackbar). I got kicked out of my home mid way through senior year. I would have been homeless if not for student loans during my first two years. I'm working now but it was tough to fight for survival and find work in this economy. No car. Unsure of a roof over your head. No work experience. Just look at the jobless thread on these forums if you need an idea.
For me it was either take out loans, or put on America's "away" jersey and fight. It's not black and white.

Good for you but MILLIONS of people go to school, work and still need help. You sound just as ignorant as those on the other end of the spectrum, smh

very misleading title
I work in this field; the sub loans are going up and the govt pays the interest on those as long as you don't F up school and drop out; the unsub loans have been around 6.8% for YEARS
the 3.4% was like a one time deal and was passed right before the year started last year (7/1/12).
You can only borrow $23k of the $57k agg limit in Stafford loans and it's controlled per year so if you graduate in 4 years you only borrow $19k in sub loans
OP you just made this thread with no real research into it; there is a crisis brewing but it's because SO many people don't complete school then they drop out and default on their loans which in turn screws everyone who does pay their loans back

Then don't go to school until you can. It's that simple. If you can't afford it, postpone your post-secondary education until you're financially able to go back to school. School should only be a priority if you can afford to go. If it's between going to school, or working to keep a roof over your head, it's obvious what the choice is.

The bottom line is people complaining feel like they should get a free education, go on and make $50k to start and not have to worry about any of their income going to pay what got them there
Bunch of whiny little b's
You don't want to invest in yourself then there are plenty of Subways hiring

So, work a dead end job forever because you can't afford to pay for school on your own as opposed to taking out a loan so that you can eventually live comfortably in the future? That makes sense, with your line of thinking that will never happen. You can't be this dense.

I'm not saying don't go to school. What I'm saying is people need to stop complaining about how expensive it is because post-secondary school is a privilege, not a right,
Go to school and suck it up, or quit complaining about barely getting by, and get a damn job.

It's the getting a job part that's the issue though. Get a good job means go to school, well if school is expensive and my working isn't enough to suffice I can either take out a loan or not go to school and work a crap job. How is this being missed? Life is not as black and white as you are attempting to portray it.

Regardless of the bickering on either side of getting loans, this is the next bubble that when it pops will make the last economic disaster we went through look mild.

Really :/ news to hear
The only reason I've changes schools and limited my courses is because of the cost. It's insane
I know once I'm done with everything, or 10+ years, college will be free or cost very little
Bleh
