Record Surge in Past-Due Student Loans Adds to US Debt Burden

Another thing is some of these kids getting a degree in Lesbian Studies and wondering why they're still poor. Do they ever think about these things in advance?

How does a degree in "womyns studies" not raise a red flag with potential employers, that the applicant, if selected, will spend their time suing over every perceived slight?

She does lots of real estate business with her law firm.

Lots of international buyers with money to spend.

Ah... I was talking about criminal law
They were/are good people, some would take on a fair share of pro bono cases to make right wrong injustices for the poor. Lots of nasty stuff in our legal system years back. Without proper representation you were screwed.

Not after seeing the cohort.

In my experience, a "collaborative work environment" means the women's studies types do a lot of useless blabbering while the rest of us got all the work done.

Pretty much, they're like HR/public relations lite.

A female who got a degree centered around female studies lobbying to HR (90% female demographically) to make female eccentric programs/events because we’re not diverse enough.

That's a management issue.

That's a weak management issue.

Fixed it.

Janice in HR called. She wants to have a word with you, something about not being a team player.

This topic is making its rounds on fintwit. I thought you might like this chart - its delinquencies by age group. Seems like the 50+ crowd are the worst. I suppose if your 50 and still have student loans you probably figure there really is no point I guess.

You reap what you sow. I have paid.. every.. single.. debt I ever owed on time all my life. No sympathy at all for them.

Agree, but there is sometimes an element of predatory lending to the vulnerable. I know a gal who holds a PhD, maybe a double PhD, in a Social Science discipline. Her family offered no fiscal guidance when the loans were offered. A huge mess that hounded, perhaps crippled, her for many years. The worst part is, I am not sure she has learned her lesson.

Personal finance needs to be taught starting in grade school and continued through HS.

I imagine some in the 50+ category have their own loans and parent plus loans.

Good point I never thought of.
