Not turning this into a left-right pissing match, but seriously how dumb is this woman? I worked 2 jobs throughout college, went to a state school with some scholarships, graduated in 4 years, and still came out of Iowa with about 45K in debt. She can kindly eat my shorts.

I could have and should have taken out less. It's not because I was lazy I did work full time and have a child to take care of. I had a few scholarships but not enough to cover everything. It was dumb that I didn't even think about applying for scholarships until my last year. Even after I had my daughter I still had to claim my parents income until I got married so no grants. When I got married we were just over the income requirements so I really couldn't afford to not take out loans.

My first mistake was to go to a private college and I had bad high school grades so I didnt get much in scholarships. My second mistake was to transfer to a school out of state. Let's just say I owe a lot in student loans. I'm trying to blow them out.
