I don't think anyone has suggested that room and board ought to be picked up by the tax payer, have they?
where have you been? When you qualify for a student loan, some goes to tuition and legitimate expenses and a quite a bit just goes for living expenses. It's all included in the student loan. I think the lady's name is Sally May. Sally, May I live one more year without a job if I borrow money and go to school?
another broken ET soul lol. Again deep down you dont believe its possible to make big money trading. The reason is you have likely never been exposed to successful traders who probably have institutional experience. Why do you think so many people are negative and/or bitter on trading forums. Its their minds way of protecting itself, just tell yourself 'its ok, nobody makes money trading anyway'. 95%+ donate to the <5%. Its brutal out there. Find others who are making a lot of money and learn from them.
Why all the envy? College loans for all their flaws do benefit the studious and driven. I have several family members with 200K+ loans for med school which they will pay back early. It was a leveraged bet on their part but one with positive expectancy. Even if college students only have a 50 percent chance of getting a job, that expectancy is far greater than trading. The system needs to be reformed. So many changes can be implemented without kicking out the ladder for future generations. Let that lazy pizza ordering college student suffer his fate. Damnnit, now I'm hungry for pizza. What to do? Marco's? Papa Johns? Dominos?
or, do like I did, risk a lot, make a lot, and realize you were just lucky it has very little to do with how much you need and everything to do with how much you will risk if you need very little like me, there is no need to risk very much anymore Heck, at this point, loaning money to the United States Government is risky. Don't confuse traders who take a lot of risk with the few who make a lot of money. A few made a lot of money but they all took a lot of risk. I know of no way to make a lot of money without accepting a lot of risk. So now, we are just bitching about what "a lot of money" is. Like the man said, e=mc2 or in otherwords, it's all relative. But thanks for the advice.
What did I say? I will as a taxpyer glady pay for all your tuition, and guarantee that loan or even forgive it. What more do you want? I aint going to loan you money or guarantee any loan for your partying, or just living quitely in a room. If you can find a private bank who will make that loan that is your businesss and none of mine. It's just between you and the bank, and I as a taxpayer will have no part in it. I'm involved with a private charity which does just that...they provide food and housing for students who want to learn. And believe me, we will take every government guarantee we can get.
no shit sherlock lol. Just because you dont know how means that in trading you can only make a 'meagre existence'. Its a losing attitude. Surround yourself with winners if you want to win.
Nobody in medschool can work a part time job! That is insane. An engineering degree is a 5 year plan due to the immense course requirements. Few people can carry a full STEM load and work full time. And part time just doesn't cut it these days. This plan of yours is punitive and affects the people who best utilize student loans. Stop and think. You have a lot of misdirected anger.
my misdirected anger is not to the few who make it to medical school, and I deliverd pizzas with a student who had double majors, one in a low paying field like mathmatics (one for their true love) and the other to get a government job. (like Russian.) oh yeah, another one who was an optometrist student. His father was an optometrist. He had already turned down an offer to work in a clinic (after graduation) because he wanted his own private practice when he graduated. Probably put in about 18 hours a week delivering for Dominos.
