See this is the problem, you’re entirely missing the point. You don’t have to go to Harvard to be an elementary school teacher. Harvard on average $228k for 4 years Bridgewater State $44k for 4 years. Only 35 miles apart.
This person chose to take out somewhere on the realm of $90k worth of student loans for a career that makes less than $50k per year.
I don’t know anything about it, but we an example out of state tuition at Fayetteville State University is less than $25k for 4 years.
There are options and choices but people would rather take the easy way and blame someone else.
I agree college prices are out of control, but right now you have to work within the constraints available.
My friend, jobs like elementary school teacher don’t pay enough to return the interest loans, and that’s only exaggerated with the high inflation.
Entry level jobs, which are supposed to be easier are simply not paying enough to make ends meet. And that’s not a problem all individuals can solve. This requires regulatory work
You either need to really do more research on topics before you make uninformed comments or just don’t comment on things you don’t know.
Mississippi the lowest paid elementary school teachers on average and it’s $48k. If you went to school for $25k then you’d only have a $250 monthly payment for 10 years. Teachers should make more, but you make good decisions you could definitely live okay.
