Study in another country

Abandon hope all ye who enter into student loan agreements.

You're best to take a year or two, work yer butt off, then go over on your own dollar....borrowing from the government is tantamount to selling yourself into slavery and dooming yourself to a good 15 years of woe (if you're lucky).

You should go through this site and read the stories--read about everyone who had the best of intentions when they graduated and then fell on hard luck, or ended up with health issues, or had family issues, or any number of things that are just a part of life.....read about how our tax refunds get ripped from the starving mouths of our children, how we, and our families and friends, get harrassed at all hours, how we get angry calls at work, how we get berrated and debased, insulted and lied to ....take a look at how thousands of us have had our credit reports trashed, how we can barely qualify for even a Canadian Tire card and, even then, at exhorbitant rates...read how we get our wages ripped from our hands, keeping us in substandard housing with vehicles that are held together with a pair of nylons and a prayer IF we are even able to have a vehicle at all...read how we chase our loans from collection agency to collection agency, never being given a straight answer, being promised reductions in our debt only to be told later that no such thing exists...read about the drugs we have to take for our anxiety and depression, our feelings of worthlessness and apathy toward the future, our inability to retire, our fears of homelessness....

You may think I'm exaggerating....go through the site. It doesn't happen to all of us, but it happens to enough for even the most inattentive person to notice that this is a HUGE problem.

And if you intend to take out loans then move to Romania when you've finished your education, then you are part of the problem and the reason why I curse George Washington Carver, inventor of peanut butter--often my only meal for weeks on end.

Think about it.
