Took nearly 12 years to pay mine off, and the interest wasn't deductable.

In one sense I'm not complaining . . . I fully knew I had to, and would, pay it back (I still have the used loan coupon booklets). In another sense . . . it just ain't right. ** Edited by MikeVT85 at 9/29/2022, 4:43:58 PM

EDGEMAN • 09/29/22 06:56 PM ET
you do realize colleges are starting to
VaTechie • 09/29/22 08:27 PM ET
Maybe, but I think they will just kill the programs.
RJHokie • 09/29/22 07:52 PM ET
If they are crap degrees, should they even exist?
EDGEMAN • 09/29/22 07:59 PM ET
The degrees exist because people have interests in the subject matter.
RJHokie • 09/29/22 08:19 PM ET
In that case, the student and or their parents can pay for that degree.
EDGEMAN • 09/29/22 08:27 PM ET
Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.
RJHokie • 09/29/22 08:34 PM ET

Vienna_Hokie • 09/29/22 04:09 PM ET
the people loaning them the money don't care any - the school or the banks
bigbadbird • 09/29/22 04:25 PM ET

Vienna_Hokie • 09/30/22 07:51 AM ET

It hit a snag the day it was suggested from both sides
TheNuke • 09/29/22 02:25 PM ET
It will get happen, then get litigated for years. By then it's too late.
HokieGator • 09/29/22 03:56 PM ET
Well it got the press he wanted.
Vtskier1 • 09/29/22 02:39 PM ET
the cost is the problem - and banks don't apply normal rules of loans
bigbadbird • 09/29/22 03:10 PM ET
one problem with it - is it prob doesn't help that much

RTFC • 09/29/22 03:22 PM ET

Vienna_Hokie • 09/29/22 03:25 PM ET
