you didn't want to go to trade school? or community college?

or any other route to acquiring a trade?

@CatLoverKid tried both

I mean. Considering 20% of small buisiness fail year one. 50 % fail in year five. That ain't a great option in general or for someone down on their luck

why did those fail?

Couldn't afford trade school, and was legally barred from taking out more loans even for community college prices

you didn't apply for student aid or ANY loans????

that seems unlikely

And what do the 21 year old that attended college against all odds, ended up finishing but is drowning in bills? That degree sure did a whole lot.

I did

I said that I'm legally barred from taking out anymore loans

You arent guaranteed approval on student loans or aide

No you're not

That's the loe

*lie

They claim that you're guaranteed the loans

And you're really not

Deaths head is right

And before you start the "oh yes you are" kid. My mother works for a college. She sees the bullshit first hand.

damn, I think that's not fair.

I think that fed gov't should provide unsub loans

didn't know that

But in your own words no risk = no reward

Precisely what we're telling you. And the system in place is what causes that

exactly

that was to Deaths lol

The system in place forces people seeking to better themselves into debt. That's predatory by its very nature.

Ima be honest. I couldn't sleep so I'm gettin sleepy tea. But fuck all y'all for having this stimulating convo without me

Ah my fellow North Easterner awakens. I hope you are well brother

Well I gotta be up at 9 for work at 12, but Im not too shabby

Tryin to catch a few more hours before wage slavin

and you don't want to work min-wage to build up credit any qualify for loans?

Lmfao I work a min wage.

Do you know what minimum wage is in VA?

not memorized

What? I make close to 23 an hour to walk in circles and babysit

Federal level: $7.25/hour

You cannot live on that ANYWHERE in this stste

I have NO clue what cost of living is there

single bedroom apartment here is 3300 a month in some cases

HA! Yeah minimum wage isn't earning you NEARLY enough to afford that
