<p>There are LOTS of ways to get a college degree without going into debt for the rest of your life. Of course this would mean taking your own initiative to work, earn money and save. It sure is a lot easier to have your parents cosign a loan. It’s a lot easier to either commute from home or live in a dorm with a meal plan.</p>
<p>But there are MANY MANY folks who get college degrees (albeit not on the four year plan) while working, living on their own, and NOT taking loans.</p>
<p>Please, you are making is sound like you are a victim when in fact it was your CHOICE if you took our loans, and continued in college. </p>
<p>You certainly had control of your own destiny here, but YOU (not anyone else) chose the course you took.</p>
