Anyone who is considering college minus cash is a fool. I am learning what kind of a fool I have been.  I am near graduation but if I fail one class I will have to get another loan for summer. Thing is I don't have a job.  Optimissim is fine when the prospects are high and before you and there is no quick dept sand to swallow you. Start watching channel 46 and you will get a very real synopsis of the staggering level of job less rates and the fact that we are amongst the country's highest in unemployment.  Tell me if you would buy a house with nothing but promises. Now tell if that doesn't apply to student loans. Don't give me the irresponsible line 'Obama will take care of it.'  Wake up, Oregon he ain't the messiah!!!!
