You kids better be careful getting loans for college......

This is why there needs to be a serious financial literacy class required in every high school that covers loans (school, residential mortgage, car, etc.), credit cards, investing, etc. Remember that many students need to make these decisions at 18 years old with no financial background and parents who may have little or no education about these matters, or potentially not speak English well enough to deal with these issues.  It's insane to me today that we require Shakespeare but don't even offer a class about personal finance in most schools.

you must be african-american because they offered me about 10% of the tuition. That's right. 4500$ scholarship.

On another note: She really should not have gotten that degree unless she wanted to be a professor some day

Thing is u dont usually, well i know this for sallie mae. Have to pay it back until u are done with school. Simply solution NEVER stop going to school. When u get the degree u need or use, just take enough credits in anything and just always attend and PASS classes.
