Hello I do not agree with all of you!

I too have student debt of about 60,000. I had to get loans in undergrad to support me and my kids as well as through grad school. Now I have a MS in Criminal Justice Admin/Security, no job prospects, and actually have no place to live. I have been living with different relatives and been split up from my kids. Yes they are all over 18, the youngest is 19. It's the last three I have had to worry about the most because my last husband molested my girls and brainwashed my son. It has been a long past 6 yrs and I still have issues with my younger three. Right now I am in VA with my second oldest babysitting so she and her husband can work. The pay is not great and barely keeps me paying bills I do have. So I can see this girl's point but she is young and I am not. I am in my early 50's and it's hard to impress employers that I have the skills to succeed in the position advertised. They can't say so but I know it's my age. I don't have a lot of the experience that most of the job ads require so I do what i can to survive. I would love for someone to pay off my school loans so I can work towards a stable place to stay instead of worrying about defaulting on my loans.

You never know. There may be people that have more money than they know what to do with and want to help someone in need! It is worth a shot!

She might as well have gone to a vocational school. Anthropology and the like are for rich girls.

Perhaps she might have addressed these concerns prior to incurring this large debt.
