Why is everyone that disagrees with you being flagged? We don't accept dissent or discussion here?

we have to do something about the interest rates though, there are tons of programs to help cap your payment...but you're just kicking the can down the road as your balance goes up.

Would you be ok with instituting a law that mortgage and medical debts can no longer be discharged through bankruptcy? I bet people get really irresponsible when they realize they don't have to pay these debts, they just have to take a

I mean, is this surprising? Despite the original purpose of college, today the majority of people only go to college because they want a decent job. If your best shot of getting a decent job requires you to first get a 40k piece of paper, m

I managed to get about 70% of my entire undergrad (tuition, books, and living expenses) covered by academic scholarships. Even with working every summer, every Christmas break, and through 3 of the 4 years while at school, I still had to mi

Most medical operations have an army of people supporting physicians. I used to work at a medical lab and there were transcriptionists, billing dept, a dept. for quality assurance of every report a doctor wrote, customer service, etc. Hospi

Companies don't want to deal with being debt collectors is what this comes down to. My last job paid for a good portion of my masters, every time I was reimbursed for tutition there was a set amount of time I had to still be with the c

A lot of physicians either push to restrict the supply of docs or look at this "issue" and do nothing about it. They do not want their wages to decrease by opening up the market (have had physician friends say this to me in words

No, doctors do not have "too much information to consume" especially in relation to new drugs on the market. In the highly specialized field of medicine, you do not need to know about every drug that comes out every year. You only

I'm on the west coast, not San Francisco, but average rent for a 1BR here is $1700. I make less than half of 150k. It's whatever, I'm working to move industries. I just look at these numbers for INTERNS and realize I've

How about a movement that says, "If you can't earn a decent wage working 40 hours a week, sit under a bridge until you die for your country." Reducing the labor pool and showing the elites they can build their own roads, make
