My loan was paid off within 3 months. It was a very small loan to get me through my senior year. I did not require large student loans since I worked prior to college to fund my first year, and worked during college to fund my own living expenses and tuition. I also choose a field of study that WOULD lead to employment with a compensation that would put me in the provide portion of our society. Many students today are making unsound financial decisions, fully supported by our federal government, that too makes unsound financial decisions. Taking on $100K of debt to earn a degree with no marketable skills is foolishness. Foolishness that is paid for by those of us that provide the tax reciepts for the government to waste. Get a clue, don't take out the loan, try working to support yourself for a change.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
